Office of Behavioral Health Advocacy

We support individuals and their families who are being served and supported in the Washington State behavioral health system. OBHA uses a trauma-informed approach to enhance behavioral health awareness, promote self-empowerment, and increase access to services. We assist individuals, families, and communities across WA State with behavioral health needs and concerns.

The OBHA's work is based on the desired outcomes expressed by participants. We provide information and referrals to all community members and assist with complaints, grievances, appeals, Mental Health Advanced Directives, and the Fair Hearings process.
