 A Preliminary Report & Recommendations of the Commonwealth of Virginia
Commission on Mental Health Law Reform
This report outlines the results of three major studies conducted by the
Supreme Court of Virginia's Commission on Mental Health Law Reform. It
also makes recommendations for the 2008 session of the Virginia General
Assembly. The Commission is concerned with addressing gaps in access to
services, involuntary civil commitment, empowerment and
self-determination, special needs of children and adolescents, and
intersections between the mental health and criminal justice systems. The
full report and findings of the research will be available early in 2008.
The final report will be submitted in the fall of 2008.
