Chester County Consumer/Family Satisfaction Team (C/FST)
The Chester County Consumer/Family Satisfaction Team (C/FST) is comprised of individuals and family members who have personal experience with behavioral health services (mental health and drug and alcohol). We are a highly trained team who implement an innovative model to gather and report data in order to ensure the “Voice” of the people is captured. We are also Peer Advocates that inform people about available help, services, and resources.
Chester County C/FST offers the opportunities for youth, adults, and families receiving behavioral health services to share their voice through interviews, and focus groups. The collected data is used to compile survey results and distribute informative reports to county departments, Community Care Behavioral Health, and other relevant stakeholders (including families, individuals, providers, and community members) to work together to impact Chester County behavioral health services.
Since our inception in 2012, we have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations within varied projects for multiple stakeholders. The following are some of C/FST projects from the last few years:
- BHRS 2018 (Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services): this was a survey with parents whose children receive BHRS services
- Recovery Oriented System of Care 2017: looking various aspects of recovery in mental health and drug & alcohol services
- Decades to Doorways (The Department of Community Development initiative to end homelessness) Phases 1 & 2: interviewing people who are currently or who were homeless in Chester County to identify changes needed
- Adult Residential Phases 2 & 3: developed a vision statement with providers and next steps to encourage recovery
The Chesco C/FST is happy to contract with any stakeholders who are looking to gather, analyze and report data from people utilizing behavioral health services in the county. If you would like more information about Chester County C/FST services at Voice and Vision please email: Marcia Griffy at marciag@voiceandvisioninc.org
Currently we are a small, but fierce team.
