Getting to know about you and your child/youth

Greetings,

Parents and Caregivers for Wellness is a group of Parent/Caregiver run organizations from across California who are working together to improve behavioral health services and supports for children and their families. 

Parents & Caregivers for Wellness is the best resource to identify the strengths and needs of California’s families. To help us understand what behavioral health services and supports are needed in California, we are asking that you fill out the following survey.  Your voice and opinions matter. The information you provide will be private and confidential, meaning that we will not share individual responses and will only present combined results. These results will be used to help us develop training and advocacy activities aimed to address your needs.

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 Steve Varner at (916) 837-2931, email svarner@unitedparents.org or look us up on Facebook or our website:  https://parentscaregivers4wellness.org/
 
Thank you for your time.
