MENTAL HEALTH SELF ADVOCACY
If you are advocating for yourself and have mental health concerns, it is important to know both your federal and state laws under the Mental Health Code. In New Mexico, for example, there is a treatment guardianship for forced or involuntary medications and treatment. Always be sure your due process has not been violated.
