| Heroes,
I really need your help in getting
veterans to complete the below anonymous survey.
The Ohio Department of Mental Health plans on using the results of this
survey as a baseline for helping veterans and their families throughout
the State of Ohio.
To date, very few veterans have responded, which in turn has put the success
of this project at risk.
This is an opportunity that we cannot miss.
So please, please assist the State in gathering the information we need
to help all those who we are committed to serve.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Veteran/Family
Member,
The Ohio Department of Mental Health,
Ohio Department of Veterans affairs along with the Multiethnic Advocates
for Cultural Competence (MACC) is asking for your input on how the State
of Ohio can better provide mental health services to active and retired
members of the military and their families.
This information, along with a series of regional focus groups, will be
used to compile a statewide needs assessment report to assist the mental
health service providers in our state to learn and meet the needs of veterans
and their families.
Many of you have personally witnessed
or experienced issues such as depression, post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD),
sleep disorders and other challenges after your or a loved ones military
service.
We are interested in learning how mental health providers in Ohio have
responded to your unique needs and perspectives
as a veteran or family member.
The survey is anonymous.
If you are interested in receiving hard copies to take to your meetings
or to have completed by veterans or family members in your area, please
contact our consultants at the information below.
