Prime Directives
• The idea behind the Prime Directive is similar to the Advance Directive.
• In January 2000, the Prime Directive Initiative in New York State began with the vision
of former consumers of children’s mental health services who are now advocates.
• A group of young people, family members, professionals, and policymakers developed a
draft of My Prime Directive Journal (Tenney, 2001).
• This document was then presented at focus groups around New York State. These focus
groups were composed of young people, family members, and professionals.
• A fi nal draft was then edited and made available for distribution.
• Pass around a copy of My Prime Directive Journal (Tenney, 2001).
