North Carolina MH/BH Stakeholder Community Needs Assessment

Dear North Carolina Mental Health/Behavioral Health System (MH/BH) Stakeholder,

The Community Needs Assessment (click to access survey) is designed to assist mental health stakeholders in determining the current strengths and service gaps in the mental health system in North Carolina. The information obtained from the Community Needs Assessment will illuminate for stakeholders what needs to be addressed in North Carolina in order to transform and create recovery-oriented mental health services and systems.

As part of the new NC System of Care – High Fidelity Wraparound Expansion Grant from SAMHSA, this survey will be administered to MH/BH stakeholders statewide once a year for the next four years. It is our hope that our work throughout and beyond the grant period will bring about positive change that is reflected in your responses to this survey over these years.

If you can find approximately 20 minutes to share your experience and viewpoint on North Carolina’s MH/BH System, you will be giving a tremendously valuable gift to young people in our state: the gift of sharing your viewpoint from your unique place in our system. This survey will close on January 12^th. Upon the close of the survey, a raffle for $50 gift cards (provided by non-state and federal funds) will be awarded to 10 individuals who completed the survey. Please feel free to share the link to this survey widely with anyone who has a stake in North Carolina’s MH/BH system.
