About OMHDD

Contact the Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities (OMHDD) if you need assistance.

The OMHDD is an independent state agency responsible for:

"Promoting the highest attainable standards of treatment, competence, efficiency, and justice for persons receiving services for mental illness, developmental disabilities, chemical dependency, or emotional disturbance."
