Our new project has received £2.5m @MaudsleyCharity funding to roll-out #AdvanceChoiceDocuments across @MaudsleyNHS, allowing patients to set out their wishes for how they would want to be treated during a future #MentalHealth crisis or relapse.

ALT "I don’t want my son to be sectioned. I want to keep him well, so an Advance Choice Document is what we need... The big thing would be that reassurance that he would be taken care of in the way he wants to be taken care of even if I’m not there." Lorna, who is a carer and advocate for her son, Ryan, who lives with psychosis
