Alliance Note: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Office of Recovery will hold a webinar on Psychiatric Advance Directives on Friday, June 28th, from 1-2pm. Having a Psychiatric Advance Directive (PAD) can quickly facilitate you getting the exact care you want during a moment of crisis or when you are hospitalized. A PAD is a document created when you are doing well which signals and directs your doctors and other treatment team members to use the services and supports which help you recover during an emergency or crisis, as well as prevent the use of those you do not want or have been harmful in the past. This webinar will discuss common details of PADs, how to complete one, as well as how peers and advocates can increase the availability and usage of the tool. See below for more information, including a link to register for the event.
