The Mental Disabilities Board of Visitors consists of five members appointed by the Governor. They represent consumers, family members, health care professionals as well as ordinary citizens.

The Board reviews care at Montana's institutions for the mentally ill and the developmentally disabled, and care at Montana's community mental health centers. They also provide legal representation at Montana State Hospital.

Contact the Board of Visitors for "Your Mental Health Rights in Montana" - a manual that tells more about rights in Montana's mental health facilities.
