From Matt Roberts, President,  MHA Dallas ~ 

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

 From the North

via Central Expressway:

Take the Ross Avenue Exit. Stay on the service road across Ross and follow it to Live Oak (recently this part of the route has been altered slightly, but it still gets you to the same place). Turn left at Live Oak to Cantergal. Turn right on Cantergal 1 block to Florence. Turn right on Florence into our parking lot (if you get here early)

or

Exit at either the Haskell or the Washington exits. Take Haskell or Washington to Live Oak. Turn right on Live Oak to Cantergal. Turn Left on Cantergal and go 1 block to Florence. Turn right on Florence and into our parking lot on your left.
