Campaign for Mental Health Recovery:
“What a Difference a Friend Makes”
One of the most important things to remember about mental illness is this: people can and do recover. If you have a friend with mental illness, or if you have a mental illness yourself, remember that recovery is possible. Reach out to those around you with compassion, empathy, and understanding.
Advance Directives
Florida law supports the right of any person to decide what medical and mental health treatment he or she will receive, unless the person is determined by a judge or doctor to lack the competence to make those decisions.
