Mental Health Partners makes possible the Consumer and Family Advisory Committee (CFAC). The CFAC was formed in 2002 and is a way for consumers to give input for services. The CFAC is made up of consumers who volunteer their time and energy so that the consumer's voice is heard. Members represent each disability and age group. The CFAC members are appointed by the CFAC based upon recommendations from the CFAC Nominating Committee.
The responsibilities of CFAC are to:
identify gaps in services;
assist in identifying underserved populations;
provide advice and consultation to MHP about new models of service and additional services;
review and comment on the state and local service budgets;
observe and report on the implementation of state and local business plans;
participate in the review of quality improvement measures;
ensure consumer and family participation in all quality improvement projects at the provider and local managing entity levels.
All meetings are open to the public and public participation is welcome. Citizens who are interested in learning more about the role of the Consumer and Family Advisory Committee are invited to contact MHP.
