Louisiana Improves Law for Treating Mentally Ill
Date:7/8/2008

ton was overpowered by the suspect, twice her size, and shot with her own gun. The man was not in treatment or taking his medication at the time of the tragedy, according to his sister.

Nicola's Law provides a flexible standard for targeting care at those most at risk of harm because of untreated severe mental illnesses. It is anticipated that the new law will help about 170 people in Louisiana receive treatment each year. Treatment will help reduce hospital stays, homelessness, jail time, and substantially diminish the chances of violence.

The Treatment Advocacy Center (http://www.treatmentadvocacycenter.org) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating barriers to the timely and effective treatment of severe mental illnesses. TAC promotes laws, policies, and practices for the delivery of psychiatric care and supports the development of innovative treatments for and research into the causes of severe and persistent psychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
