CLIENT RIGHTS RESOLUTION

MCCDDC encourages individuals to voice grievances or complaints if they are dissatisfied with services. If a person feels their rights have been violated they may contact (or a referral will be made on their behalf) to Missouri Protection and Advocacy to obtain legal representation.  
MO P & A can be reached directly at:


Phone: (573) 659-0678              Toll free: (800) 392-8667          MO Relay (TDD): (800) 659-2966


If an individual wishes to make an anonymous complaint, they should call their Service Coordinator,  or other support worker to express their concerns. Coercion or other behavior used to intimidate the person filing the grievance or complaint will not be tolerated.  Grievances or complaints can also be filed anonymously with DMH’s Constituent Services Office:  (800) 364-9687
