Greetings,
I got a 5150 recently and have a question. For those who might not know, 5150 is the California legal number for getting an involuntary 72 hour hold because you are deemed a risk to self or others. In my case I got drunk and called some people saying I was sick of life, wanted to die etc. I am not blameless as I have been on a downward spiral, and my behavior/comments alarmed those that cared about me. In any case, I am better, hitting up my sponsor and AA and being offered a job and housing. However, this job is at a place where I have lots of friends, including one (well she is more of an aquaintence) that will be doing the background check. Whether or not it is supposed to remain private, if that 5150 shows up on the background check it will spread throughout the workplace, then outside the place and into my private life. My question is; does it show up on a background check? The place is not any sort of government agency, it is a private business doing a normal, though reportedly thorough background check. Please and thank you.
