“…The inclusion of advance statements within mental health legislation is acknowledged as a practice change that recognizes how mental health providers engage individuals who encounter mental health services, and value their preferences to care received (James et al 2019). However, the familiarity and knowledge mental health clinicians have of advance statements greatly affects their implementation within the mental health setting (James et al 2022).…”
