The purpose

of this forum is to solicit public input so that the West Central Region

can properly forecast requirements for services and resources. All residents

of Fayette County are urged to attend and to make their needs known. Possible

reductions in state funding for mental health, developmental disability

and addictive disease services and programs make this a rare opportunity

to meet and address those involved in making decisions that affect our

quality of life.

The MHDDAD

regional offices are the contact points for people needing treatment for

mental illness or substance abuse problems, support services for people

with mental retardation, or substance abuse prevention.
