The North Carolina General Assembly's Legislative
Oversight Committee (LOC) for Mental Health,
Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services
is meeting on August 26, 2008 from 10:00am to 3:00pm in
Room 643 of the Legislative Office Building. The main
agenda items are 2008 Session Actions with a NC
Department of Health and Human Services update. For
example, there will be a discussion community support
services, state psychiatric hospitals, LME administration,
and Crisis Services.
If you are interested in learning the NC DHHS perspective
on the progress on issues such as these, the LOC
meetings are the place to be. It is also a good place to
meet our elected representatives that serve on this
committee. You can catch up with them in the halls before
or after session or find them in their offices to let them
know your perspectives on the issues being discussed.
This is a critical time for mental health services in NC.
Advocates can help by continuing to let our elected
officials know how the lack of services affects us and/or
the people we love.
