Out knocking on doors in Carbondale this evening, Jamie had the opportunity to talk with community members about the mental health challenges facing Jackson County and how changes regarding the Choate Mental Health and Developmental Center impact local services.

​Discussions like these often lead to important realizations. While many of us are familiar with standard health care advanced directives, we rarely think about them in terms of mental health.

​Illinois law provides a legal way for you or a family member to plan ahead for mental health treatment, allowing you to outline your care preferences and designate a trusted decision-maker before a crisis occurs. Having a plan in place empowers individuals and protects their choices before an emergency happens.

​Read the full Illinois statute (755 ILCS 43/1): https://www.ilga.gov/Legislation/ILCS/Articles?ActID=2112&ChapterID=60
