Coalition Recommendations to the Administration

Governor Abercrombie addressing members of PHOCUSED

At the PHOCUSED annual meeting, the Governor and his staff invited the Health and Human service sector to collaboratively work with the Administration before the next legislative session to inform the administration of the largest problems in specific subject matter areas.  PHOCUSED facilitated meetings with various coalitions with the intent to provide recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature about priorities within their sector.

Below is a list of the coalitions that participated.  Please click on the name of each sector to see their specific recommendations:

Mental Health

Domestic violence

Youth Services

Substance Abuse Prevention

Substance Abuse Treatment

Developmental Disabilities

We hope that these types of facilitated discussions will assist the Governor and the Legislature in formulating their policies for this next year.  This is something PHOCUSED would like to continue to do every year.  It is our hope that these efforts will expand to include more coalitions in the future.
