MHSA Focus Groups and Key Informant Interviews

Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 5848(a), MHSA requires an inclusive and on-going Community Planning Process to gather input about experiences with MHSA Programs and the current mental health system, to record recommendations for improvement of programs and processes and to acknowledge feedback regarding future and/or unmet needs. 

Focus groups and key informant interviews are held each fiscal year as part of the process for developing Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plans and Annual Updates.

Please call the MHSA Coordinator at (209) 381-6800 or email MHSA@co.merced.ca.us for more information on current interviews and focus groups.
