Has the Department of Children & Families (DCF) taken custody of your child? Or removed them from your home? Do you have an attorney who is going to court with you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, your case is not eligible for our services. Please contact the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) Children and Family Law Division at 617-482-6212.
MHLAC is trying to establish an affirmative right to a fair hearing based on an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) violation. If DCF is involved with your family (but has NOT removed your child(ren)) and has failed to provide you with reasonable accommodations for your disability, or discriminated against you because of your mental health disability, you may be eligible for our services. Complete this DCF Fair Hearing Intake Request Form to request an intake interview. Once the intake is scheduled and completed, the case will be reviewed by MHLAC legal staff.
