Researchers in Child & Family Studies are conducting focus groups as part of a review of mental health services in Sarasota County. We are trying to understand what mental health services are like for parents and caregivers who navigate services for their children, as well as for children and youth themselves, and for young adults ages 18-24. The focus groups are part of a larger project that will include analysis of existing data and feedback from mental health providers and other community members. Our goal is to use the information we gather to help community stakeholders know what steps to take for improving child and youth mental health services in Sarasota County.
