Every Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP) should have a complaint process in place to investigate complaints made by a youth in the facility or by a guardian, family member, friend or other interested individual. Sometimes, this is called a “grievance” or “complaint” procedure.
If you believe that a youth has been unjustly restrained in a manner that violated the youth’s rights, you may also contact:
