Describe the difference between a voluntary and involuntary placement.

Voluntary placement- a voluntary placement for a child with documented, developmental disability or mental illness in order to provide treatment for the child related to the disability that they can’t receive at home

Involuntary placement- a legal process in which an individual who is deemed by a qualified agent to have symptoms of a severe mental disorder is ordered by a court into treatment in a psychiatric hospital or in the community

It means that both sides go the same direction
