Hawse Health is conducting their annual review of services!
We would love to have your input regarding behavioral health services. This is the second year we have completed these surveys electronically. Everyone is welcome to complete a survey. It might be beneficial for them to be aware that this is only for behavioral health, not medical services. These surveys help to provide us with feedback regarding what we could do to improve services for the upcoming years, as well as what the teachers and staff find most beneficial from our services. The surveys should only take approximately two minutes. This year all of the schools are attached to the same survey, so when you click on the link, you will be asked to identify the school, and I believe you will be asked the relation (teacher, parent, administrator) and I am under the impression that you can pick more than one (in case you are a parent of a student who benefits from services, teacher, and/or administrator). Please feel free to forward this email to all teachers, support staff and other individuals.
Here is the link to the Grant County survey:

Thank you for distributing the survey to your staff. Anyone is able to take the survey and everyone is encouraged to do so. We greatly appreciate you taking your time to give us some feedback.
