Behavioral Health Strategic Planning Work Group of the Behavioral Health Stakeholders' Consortium (formerly the Planning Committee)

This work group was established by the Behavioral Health Stakeholders’ Consortium (formerly the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Stakeholders’ Consortium) to analyze current mental health and substance abuse issues and identify needs within Sarasota County and to identify gaps in services. The goal of the work group is to develop strategic prevention plans for community issues to address the current and future needs of mental health and substance abuse service delivery.
