# Sustainability Survey

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this study on sustaining systems of care. As a key member of your community familiar with service delivery to children with serious emotional disturbance and their families in your community, your help will allow us to better understand factors and strategies for maintaining systems of care after federal grant funding ends. The national evaluation team at ORC Macro needs your help to understand these issues and is interested in your answers to questions related to your community.

This survey is being conducted by ORC Macro as part of the national evaluation of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program and is funded by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

This important federal effort is working hard to improve community-based mental health services for children and families, and gathering information from you, as a service provider, is critical to this mission. This survey should take about 45 minutes to complete. Completing this survey is voluntary and you can stop at any time. However, a true understanding of experiences from the field is difficult without your participation.
