Disability Rights NC's PAIMI Advisory Council is in need of members from Region 2 (counties listed below). Applications are available on the Council's web page along with further information about the Council.
At least 60% percent of the Council is to be comprised of individuals who have received or are receiving mental health services or family members of such individuals with the Council striving to maintain a balance between consumers and family members.
In addition to geographic representation, the Council is mandated to include at least: one family member who is the primary caregiver for a minor child who is receiving or has received mental health services, one attorney, one mental health professional, one provider of mental health services and one member of the public who has demonstrated a substantial commitment to improving mental health services.
Right now, however, the Council's greatest need is for members from Region 2, regardless of whether they fit a specific slot, although fitting one or more of the mandated slots is certainly a plus. Those interested and living in other regions are certainly encouraged to apply as well with their applications considered as the need arises.
My thanks in advance,
David
