Laravel 5 reset password for a logged in user

I want to use laravel's reset password functionality to reset password for a logged in user (I'll use that instead of enabling users to change their password).

My problem is, when I redirect to the password reset route (/password/email/) and the user is logged in, they will be automatically redirected to the home logged in screen.

My first try then.. was to implement a method at the User model called sendResetPasswordLink. But, as I looked more into the platform I would need to generate the token and add to the password_resets table..

I looked into DatabaseTokenRepository and PasswordResetServiceProvider classes, looking for a function I could call to generate the token, but there is no function I could call statically..

I'm really lost, can someone point me the way?
