The Uniformed Declaratory Statements in Mental Health Care Decisions Act

The Uniformed Declaratory Statements in Mental Health Care Decisions Act provide a legal process for individuals to clarify their future mental health treatment preferences. By submitting a statement, they can specify their choices regarding treatments or interventions they want or wish to avoid if they become unable to make decisions later. This helps ensure their wishes are respected and guides healthcare providers and loved ones, promoting autonomy and reducing uncertainty during difficult times.
