Community Mental Health Needs Assessment
Once a program area approves an Expanded Mental Health Services Program the Coalition to Save Our Mental Health Centers conducts a Mental Health Needs Assessment. A Mental Health Needs Assessment helps to identify community issues and services residents would like to see provided at the new mental health center coming to their area. Surveying and long form interviews are conducted with residents and leaders in the community to compile data on what the community’s main stressors and mental health needs are. These Needs Assessments are then used by each community area’s Governing Commission when searching for a service provider that will services their communities’ specific needs and services at the center. Below are all past Mental Health Needs Assessments conducted by the Coalition.
