We need your input!


YOUTH, PARENTS, ADVOCATES


Each month we will share a very quick, completely anonymous, survey to help the people around the state  of Idaho, in youth serving programs affliliated with the YES program, to understand better what our youth are dealing with, and how they are doing.

These surveys are for Idaho youth, these monthly surveys are about things impacting our youth and their overall well being.
Each survey is very brief, and anonymous!

They are gathered on behalf of and shared with the Family and Advocates Meeting or FAM (fka Family Engagement).
This meeting is a family chaired group under the Interagency Governance Team serving Idaho’s youth. It is open to youth, families, advocates and those involved with youth programs and the YES system of care.  https://yes.idaho.gov/
Each survey is very brief, and anonymous!

The results will be shared with the FAM group at the monthly meetings which are held on the fourth Thursday of each month from Noon to 1pm. The link is below.

Please feel free to share this!

ALL  youth, families, and their advocates are welcome to attend these meetings.

FAM FLYER

Get HELP through better understanding! Each month we will hear from a program, resource partner, agency, or service of the YES system of care to learn more about how they impact YOU - our Youth and Families using YES- and how they can help you carry the load of dealing with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) or mental health issues for yourself or a family member. State H&W Reps for the YES system also attend FAM. Join us, ask questions, and let YOUR VOICE be heard.
