Frequently Asked Questions Contact Us

We are a team of mental health consumers and family members of consumers who are assessing the quality of mental health care in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. 
Members of the Consumer Satisfaction Team (CST) meet with consumers to listen and document their satisfaction/dissatisfaction with the services they use that are funded by the Montgomery County Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Magellan Behavioral Health .

We work collectively with consumers, family members, providers and the Montgomery County Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Magellan to make improvements in services.

Our purpose is to assess consumer satisfaction with mental health services by collecting data through interviews and observations and making recommendations for change as needed.

All results of consumer opinions are shared with consumers, providers, the County office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Magellan and the CST Board of Directors. The County office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse and Magellan follows up recommendations for change.

Consumer Q & A :

Question:   Why does the CST use a questionnaire and write down our answers ?

Answer:
- We believe that the information given to us is very valuable and contributes to the empowerment  of individuals in the mental health system and substance abuse system.
- We believe that, alone the consumer "voice" has not been heard.
- By using a questionnaire we hear many voices and establish a power base for change.

Question: Can I talk to the CST about something that isn't on the questionnaire ?

Answer: Yes, definitely. Your comments and opinions are important. We listen. We refer. We recommend.
