The Erie County Department of Health – Mental Health Sub Committee has developed a comprehensive needs assessment in order to determine priority areas of interest according to community members, including people with lived experience, family members, healthcare providers, peers, and advocates. Please distribute throughout your agency; we are looking for multiple perspectives including those of:
- People with Lived Experience
- Peers
- Family Members/Advocates
- Healthcare Providers
Responses will be provided to the Erie County Department of Health Community Services Board and, corresponding, Mental Health Sub Committee to direct future action.
As an identified service provider, we are requesting your assistance with the distribution and response to this needs assessment. The needs assessment has been formatted through Surveymonkey and should take no longer than 10 minutes of your time. Questions that are marked with an asterisk require a response. All responses are anonymous.
