Butler Co. C / FST

  

Description

 As a team of consumers and the family members of consumers, we gather information  regarding services received in Butler County by consumers and / or their family members to assess their satisfaction with mental health and drug and alcohol services.  With a deep respect for each consumer’s rights and dignity, we report consumer satisfaction to the proper authorities to help  consumers live life to the fullest.

What are the Goals of  the Consumer Family Satisfaction Team?

1. Consumer Family Satisfaction Team (C / FST)  establishes and maintains relationships with consumers. 
2. C / FST  creates opportunities for consumers to assert their concerns in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment.
3.  C / FST  acts as the liaison between the consumers and the Behavioral Health Service Providers.
4. C / FST  empowers consumers to become involved in their own treatment.
