Psychiatric Advance Directives:A Tool for Consumer Empowerment and Recovery slides notes
This presentation is based on a paper that explores the use of psychiatric advance directives (PADs) as a tool for empowerment and recovery for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. Individuals with psychiatric disabilities have stated that “choice and self direction” are important steps in recovery. When persons are in psychiatric crisis they may experience a feeling of loss of choice and self direction. PADs ensure that even when individuals are unable to make a decision about their treatment, they are still in control of their recovery and their personal choice is being respected.

Stigma is a major barrier to recovery for people with mental illnesses, as it interferes with community living and attainment of resources, and damages self-esteem. The article also discusses the implications of stigma analysis for social work and makes recommendations for practice and research.
