| Our
Mission
The Office of the Mental Health Advocate (OMHA)
was created by statute in 1996 to provide services
to attorneys representing criminal defendants with
mental health challenges. OMHA monitors cases in
Georgia involving pleas of Not Guilty by Reason
of Insanity (NGRI) and it directly represents a limited
number of insanity acquittees. We provide
services state-wide as a way of assisting attorneys,
the hospitals, and the courts in criminal cases involving
mentally ill defendants. |
