Anticipating Restrictions on Rights With Our Patients
Briefly

Mental health professionals must stay informed about potential legal and policy changes that could greatly affect their patients' rights and access to necessary services.
MHPs play a vital role in identifying and addressing legal concerns for patients, linking them to appropriate resources and ensuring they are aware of their rights.
Recent political shifts suggest a possible increase in restrictions affecting healthcare and various social services, particularly for marginalized groups, requiring MHPs to be proactive.
As legislation evolves, mental health professionals need to check in regularly with patients to understand their concerns and provide support in navigating these changes.
