The hospital my nephew is staying at is proposing a petition for AOT.
Just looking for some more details on the process. |

Hello ConcernedAunt: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I'm not personally familiar with AOT. However here's a link to a Mental Illness Policy Org. webpage that offers a detailed description:
AOT (Assisted Outpatient Treatment) Guide - Mental Illness Policy Org (Note the link at the top of the webpage to information on NY/Kendra's Law.) And then here are links to some articles (both against as well as for), from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject the first by our host Dr. John Grohol, Psy.D.: Assisted Outpatient Treatment: Let's 'Assist' Patients By Forcing Them What Does Enforcing Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Look Like? | Don't Call Me Crazy Assisted Outpatient Treatment "AOT" and Psychiatric Hospitalization is Costly, Ineffective and Dangerous | Trauma Informed Systems I hope you find PC to be of benefit. __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go."
