Do shouts contact the police?
If they and their clinical supervisor have concerns about your safety or you share information about the abuse of a child or young person, we may contact the police, medical, or social services. Our Shout Volunteers and Supervisors also have an obligation of confidentiality. They will only use and disclose any information provided to them within the rules set by Mental Health Innovations. We do not routinely ask for location information. The truth is that you can get arrested in this situation, as the police can claim you were disturbing the peace. They can do this on the grounds that the altercation was loud, that it made others nervous, that it was offensive or that it was even a noise violation — just like loud music or a barking dog.

To be charged with Common Assault generally, it is important to understand that you don’t even have to be physically violent – even shaking your fist as someone or shouting threatening words can be considered a form of Assault if the other person believes that they are about to be harmed by you.
