Abstract

Between August and November of 2012, the workgroup met four times from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm and again in November for a conference call. Required reading for each meeting was posted on the redesign website. Speakers and presenters included consumers, judicial advocates, a rural magistrate, and representatives from substance abuse treatment service providers and mental health treatment service providers in both urban and rural settings. During each workgroup meeting there were two public comment sections, and over the course of the meetings, nearly 25 different members of the public attended the workgroup meetings and shared comments that were documented in workgroup meeting minutes and posted on the redesign website. These public comments were also considered by the workgroup members in the final recommendations.
