Mental Health Wraparound Focus Groups

If you have engaged with HFW Access Sites and want your voice heard, the Division of Mental Health and Addiction wants to hear from you!!

Over the past five years Access Sites have been utilized, as the point of entry for families interested in services through the Children’s Mental Health Wraparound (CMHW) program. DMHA would like to hear from Access Sites, youth, families and other concerned stakeholders regarding their experience. To gather your feedback, DMHA is to hosting a series meetings throughout the state. The meetings will be conducted using a focus group format. This means that DMHA will provide some general conversation starters related to Access Site policy, processes and procedures and participants will have an opportunity to voice their thoughts and concerns about what has and has not worked.

All meetings will take place in person and will not be recorded or available in any other format. The date, time and location of the focus group meetings are as follows:
