Survey of PAB Members

At the last PAB meeting in July, Dr. Catron announced that Mary Rolando in GOCCC would be leading a financial mapping of substance abuse services for adolescents. As part of that effort, she has forwarded the following message:

The GOCCC, with support from T-ACT and in collaboration with DMHDD and DCS, is undertaking a review of the administration and funding of Adolescent Substance Abuse services. The project is referred to as the Substance Abuse Collaborative.

The principal goals are to form recommendations to align financial resources and administrative practices that will result in quality services to more Tennessee youth, and to achieve greater integration of community based treatment and prevention services and expansion of resources within and across sectors.

Work of the Collaborative is just beginning. We would very much appreciate your input as Board members at this early stage. Will you please complete a brief survey by close of business Friday, October 5, by clicking on this link.

Responses to the survey are collected at the site anonymously. All PAB members are asked to respond, whether or not you will be able to attend the meeting. Your collective input is important to this project. Results of the survey will be reported at the PAB meeting next week.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Mary Rolando
