Overview
Councils play a key role in advising the TDMHDD. They provide information
and advice on policy, the formulation of budget requests, and the
development and evaluation of services and supports.
Title 33 of the Tennessee Code Annotated (mental health
and developmental disability law) requires a structured
planning process with three layers of council participation:
-
TDMHDD Planning and Policy Council
-
Developmental Disabilities Planning
and Policy Council and Mental Health Planning and
Policy Council
-
Regional Developmental Disabilities Planning and
Policy Councils and Regional Mental Health Planning and Policy Councils
(each of the 7 TDMHDD planning regions has a regional DD Planning
and Policy Council and a MH Planning and Policy Council)
These councils provide citizen participation in policy
planning and represent service recipients and their families,
service recipient advocates for children, adults and the
elderly, service providers, agencies and other affected
persons and organizations. All three levels require majority
of membership to be current or former service recipients
and members of service recipient families.
Persons interested in serving on any of the councils should
