IMPACT OF NC BUDGET CUTS ON PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Please take a few minutes and complete the attached survey. The Governor, members of the General Assembly, Department of Health Human Services staff and LME Directors need to know how the cuts in funding for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services impact the lives of people with disabilities, and their ability to live in the community. Your story is important! Our goal is to collect a thousand stories.
