It’s hard to know who can help in a time of crisis. For Virginians with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), the system is especially fragmented. Below, find information on dLCV’s online self-advocacy complaint and other oversight and regulatory entities.
Please read the Complaint Contacts to know who to complain to if you have a problem with services. This includes problems with the regional REACH programs and other crisis services in Virginia.

If so, submit a self-advocacy complaint to the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) Commissioner. This self-advocacy complaint is for people with I/DD who are at risk of institutionalization or are inappropriately institutionalized. Written Complaint Form.
