So many people today are affected, either directly or indirectly, by mental illness. Many times, patients suffering from mental illness are being helped or taken care of by family members. Unfortunately, family members have no rights when it comes to assisting with the treatment of their family members or gaining information for this treatment.
Families are often left in the dark when it comes to treatment plans for their loved ones. A plan has been put into place that allows, among many other things, to let families play an active role in the treatment of these patients.
By signing this petition, you are supporting the adoption and continued support of the Olmstead Plan for Mental Health and Disability Services: State Plan Framework. For mor information on this Plan, please visit http://iowamhdsplan.org/
Thank you for your support of our case.
We, as family members of patients suffering from mental illness, call upon you as Iowa health care professionals, to uphold the goals and principles outlined in the Olmstead Plan for Mental Health and Disability Services: State Plan Framework (2011-2015) and allow families caring for adult mental health patients access vital treatment information and the ability to assist in this treatment.
