Site Visits

The purpose of site visits is to interact and engage with people having a mental illness in a free-flow dialogue that will allow everyone to comfortably share information. This engagement is generally conducted at various site locations throughout the community. Site Visits may include mental health facilities, homeless shelters, outpatient facilities or other treatment facilities. Sites such as state hospitals, community mental health centers, and drop-in centers are also visited.
