Regional human service centers host regional advisory group meetings in November

The North Dakota Department of Human Services’ regional human service centers in Bismarck, Devils Lake, Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown and Minot are holding their regularly scheduled advisory group meetings next week at their respective locations. Advisory groups for the Dickinson and Williston centers already met.

The centers, as public behavioral health providers of clinic, community and residential care, serve the needs of individuals with chronic and severe behavioral health disorders and individuals with limited resources. The advisory group meetings will all follow the same agenda.

Center leadership team members will review the agency’s mission, values, mandates and strategic direction, including an update on the provision of emergency services and the demographic profiles for the populations the centers serve. Advisory group members will also be briefed on an assessment of the previous long-term planning cycle, including strengths and areas of opportunity. Members will discuss measurable goals and objectives, and strategies to meet identified goals.
