My Mental Health Crisis Plan
A new mobile app and resource to assist individuals with an SMI in developing a crisis plan and psychiatric advance directive.
​
What does this do?
My Mental Health Crisis Plan allows individuals with serious mental illness to:
-
Clearly state treatment preferences, including treatments to use and not to use; medications to use an not use; preference for hospitals; and preferences for doctors and other mental health professionals.
-
Decide who can act on their behalf, by designating a trusted person (sometimes referred to as "healthcare agent", "proxy" or "healthcare power of attorney") as a decision maker on their behalf.
-
Identify whom to notify in the event of a mental health crisis.
-
Share the plan with others, including doctors, other members of the care team, and family and friends.
​
Who Developed this?
Developed by a Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Advisor, funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and administered by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
​
Where can you get the App?
