Pierce County Youth Crisis Services
Community Focus Groups

March 1-30, 2023 

Kids Mental Health Pierce County and Carelon Behavioral Health are partnering to co-facilitate focus groups interviews with participants who have a unique insight to the youth crisis service continuum. With these focus groups, KMHPC and Carelon are partnering to gain a better understanding of how crisis services are accessed by the community and what the outcomes look like. The participants of this effort include DCYF, DDA, school counselors, law enforcement/ EMS, and families.

We expect each group interview to take approximately 60 minutes. All information is confidential and will be used to focus outreach efforts and adapt messaging. Your participation will support improved mental health and crisis service navigation, access, and making resources more accessible and the system more efficient for Pierce County youth and their families.
