As you know, DSHS is undertaking a “Comprehensive Analysis of Public Behavioral Health System”, as required by Rider 71 from this last legislature. The consulting firm DSHS hired to perform this analysis will be here in January to receive public commentary.
Here are the details:
Who: Public Consulting Group for DSHS
What: Stakeholder input meeting.
When: January 13, 2012 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Where: Center for Community Cooperation, 1900 Live Oak Dallas
Why: To inform Public Consulting Group’s work in two areas:
(1) a comprehensive study of the current public behavioral health system in Texas and
(2) short and long term recommendations for the Texas behavioral health system.
The consultants want to hear from stakeholders on these topics: “access to services, service delivery models, current service array, and funding for services. Attendees will also have an opportunity to provide input on general strengths and weaknesses of the current behavioral health system and thoughts on the future direction of behavioral health services in Texas.”

Matt Roberts, President, MHA Dallas
