Program/Planning Sub-committee
The purpose of this Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council subcommittee is to coordinate with the other Council Subcommittees to review, analyze, and evaluate the effectiveness based on costs and consumer outcomes of existing publicly funded policies and practices that pertain to access, treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration of adults affected by serious mental illnesses and of children affected by serious emotional disorders, including recommending eliminations, expansions, and/or modifications for consideration by the Council. This Subcommittee consists of one representative from each of the special population subcommittees; one RSN representative; an expert in the subcommittee’s focus; and a consumer advocate, assuring balanced representation from rural and urban areas.
