Parents and Caregivers of Youth and TAY,
we need your feedback!
NAMISCC asks for your participation in an important focus group that will directly impact our county's work to develop a Youth Crisis Program in Santa Cruz County. The Santa Cruz County Department of Children's Mental Health (SCCBH) is applying for a grant to create hospital diversion programs specifically for youth and families, and we need your support and input!
We need families to help us provide direct feedback to SCCBH on topics such as how this project would benefit our community, how a lack of youth crisis services has affected your family, and what factors SCCBH should consider when designing these services.
Please fill out the survey below to share your feedback.
