A Psychiatric Advance Directive is a written statement of a person's wishes for treatment and care, created so those wishes can be honored if they are ever unable to communicate them.

Creative Psychiatric Advance Directives are a way to queer that up! Durham Art Asylum created a full-color template + art and poetry book that invites people to use comics, drawings, poetry, dreams, collage, and letters to open dialogue about our unique ways of caring for ourselves and each other. These templates offer a creative way to document our desires, needs, and visions for support.

Come to make an advance directive, make connections, and make art!
