Sexual Minority Treatment and Services Subcommittee
The purpose of this Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council subcommittee is to focus primarily on the impact of legislation, public policies, and practices particularly on affected sexual minorities in institutional, residential facilities, and/or community settings. This Subcommittee informs other Subcommittees utilizing the Council's communication protocol and work in concert with the interested and appropriate Subcommittees in consideration of specific issues and to develop/strengthen relationships between systems and promote cross-system sharing. This subcommittee works in concert with the Legislative/Administrative and Program/Planning Subcommittees in developing their recommendations concerning such matters for consideration by the Council.
