Mental Health Power of Attorney

When you can't look out for yourself, make sure a loved-one is taking care of your mental health. Create a Mental Health Power of Attorney to designate a family member, spouse or trusted friend to make your mental health decisions when you no longer can.

Use the Mental Health Power of Attorney document if:

• You want to designate someone to make decisions for your mental health care if you are unable to do so yourself.
• You anticipate treatment in a mental health facility.
• Your mental health is declining or you have been diagnosed with a condition that may lead the inability to make mental health care decisions for yourself.
