Greetings,

Parents and Caregivers for Wellness is a group of Parent/Caregiver run organizations from across California who are working together to improve services and supports to our families.  We have been provided a grant to strengthen the voice of parents and caregivers of children and youth.  As part of this project, we will be providing a variety of activities to parents and caregivers, as well as to those who provide supports and services to you and your children.

You are the best resource we have to identify strengths and needs of California’s families. To help us get to know you and your family better, we are asking that you fill out the following survey.  The information you provide will help us develop training and advocacy activities.  Although we want to know your thoughts on each question, you can skip any question you do not want to answer or do not know the answer to.  

We hope that you will provide us with your name and contact information at the end of the survey so that we can send you the results of this survey, keep you updated on our activities, and provide you with information that will help you and your family.

If you have any questions about this survey or want to know more about us, please call (805) 384-1555, email mhannah@unitedparents.org or look us up on Facebook.

Thank you for your time.
