Giving you a voice in your mental health treatment
Healthcare decisions can be overwhelming, and if you're confused by medical jargon or don't fully understand your options for treatment or care, trying to make the right choice can feel utterly hopeless. That's what the legal process of informed consent is all about: ensuring that patients get the information they need – about their diagnosis, recommended treatments and interventions, and all the associated risks – in ways they can understand so they're empowered to make the best possible decisions.
At Kali Yost Law, informed consent isn't just one of our areas of expertise – it's one of our passions. Founder Kali Yost has advocated for people with mental health conditions for over a decade, fighting for her clients to get information and care that leads to the most optimal outcomes. In fact, she literally helped to write the Disability Rights Oregon “Involuntary Medication Hearing Handbook,” outlining rules and regulations to protect individuals with mental health conditions throughout the informed consent process.
Not only is Kali Yost well-versed with Oregon's informed consent rules and statues, she also participates in the Oregon State Hospital's Rules Advisory Committee and regularly serves as a champion for state hospital patients to fully exercise their right to informed consent and due process. Whether you're looking for support for yourself or for someone you love, you can count on Kali Yost Law to ensure your rights are respected, work with healthcare providers on your behalf, and, if necessary, guide you through the administrative hearing process with empathy and respect.
When it comes to informed consent, you can trust Kali Yost Law to make sure your voice is heard.
