According to Utah State law, you have the right to make decisions about your medical care with an advance directive. An advance health care directive is a form that explains what you want to happen if you have health problems that cause you not to be able to tell doctors or other people what kind of care you want. A psychiatric advance directive is for mental health care in particular. It describes your choices for future mental health treatment and allows you to choose a trusted person to help with those decisions if needed. It gives you control over your treatment by letting you decide which treatments you do or do not want in the future, in case you are not able to communicate well and with good judgment.
You can go to the National Resource Center for Utah to get information about the Utah law for advance directives (Utah Code, Title 75, Chapter 2a). This website also has a form you can use if you want to make your own psychiatric advance directive.
SLCo Live and Work Well is a website. It offers behavioral health resources to help you.
