National Resource Center Now Available for Psychiatric Advance Directives
A newly launched online national resource center is now providing comprehensive information on psychiatric advance directives (PADs), legal documents that people with mental illnesses can create to specify, in advance, their preferred course of treatment if they should experience a mental health crisis. The website provides a state-by-state breakdown of PADs-related statutes and listings of local resources for patients and families, discussion forums, answers to frequently asked questions, testimonials from people who have used PADs, and information on the latest research findings concerning mental health issues. The National Resource Center for Psychiatric Advance Directives (NRC-PAD), developed by psychiatric and legal experts at Duke University Medical Center and the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, can be found at http://www.nrc-pad.org
