Is filing a complaint or grievance the right option?
You do not have to be a client to file a grievance. Anyone can report allegations of professional misconduct or problems with the agency. You should first attempt to resolve your complaint or grievance with the service area associated with the compliant. If this is not possible, than follow the process outlined below.
If you have any questions regarding the process, please contact Heather Kapustka at kapustkh@stvcc.org.
I am not a client but wish to file a grievance.
Please enter the nature of your grievance.
I am a client wishing to file a grievance.
There are two methods for a client to complete a compliant or grievance:
Formal Grievance
This written method requires you to complete the STVCC Client Rights Complaint/Grievance form. This is the preferred method of contact since it incorporates all the necessary questions to complete the process. Simply visit stvcc.org/client-rights-formal-grievance-form to complete and submit the electronic form.
Informal Grievance
This method is where you can verbally express your complaint/grievance. If you are going to use this method, please contact:
