Roadmap to Seclusion and Restraint Free Mental Health Services
What Professionals Are Saying About
Involving Youth In Their Services and
Systems
• “Another step is being taken when individual young
people are able to speak with a powerful voice in
planning their own services….”
• “Involving youth during treatment and service
planning….Proactively solicit treatment ideas and
therapeutic activities from the individual
youth…Offer more treatment options. True
informed consent is really about more treatment
options.” (Juliet K. Chol, consultant on children’s
mental health programs, Fall 2000)
• Both the Prime Directive and the Journal have anticipated benefi ts for the three groups
most affected: young people, their family members, and programs (professionals).
