Planning Ahead for Mental Health Care Decisions
A Mental Health Care Power of Attorney allows a person to name someone trusted to make certain mental health care decisions if they are unable to make or communicate those decisions in the future.
At Kanu & Associates, P.C., we help clients prepare thoughtful mental health care planning documents as part of a complete estate plan.
Why Mental Health Planning Matters
Mental health care decisions can be sensitive and urgent. Planning ahead can help ensure that trusted people are authorized to communicate with providers and make decisions consistent with your wishes.
This document may be especially important for individuals or families concerned about:
- Mental health treatment preferences
- Crisis planning
- Hospital admission decisions
- Medication-related decisions
- Provider communication
- Family guidance during emergencies
Protecting Dignity and Choice
Mental health care planning gives clients an opportunity to express preferences before a crisis occurs. It can also reduce uncertainty for loved ones.
