Today we are joined by Institutional Rights Unit Manager, Becka Herbig. Becka shares with us all the work dLCV does on behalf of our clients who are in Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) licensed state psychiatric hospitals. dLCV monitors all licensed state psychiatric hospitals and as they continue to close, dLCV assists clients with transitioning into least restrictive settings back in the community. If you or a loved one is in an institution and you believe you have wrongly been institutionalized, please check out our resources on our website https://www.dlcv.org/mental-health#complaint. There you can learn how to file complaints and more self-advocacy tips. As always, you can call dLCV at 800-552-3962. 
Full episode transcription is available on our website and you can follow us on Twitter @DisabilityLawVA and find us on Facebook.
