PACT Stakeholder Listening Sessions for Procurement
PACT Stakeholder Listening Sessions for Procurement
In preparation for DMH’s procurement of PACT and Forensic PACT (FACT) services, DMH will be hosting online listening sessions for PACT Providers, Families, and Clients similar to what we coordinated for ACCS.
In light of this, we wanted to be sure you and your membership were aware. As for ACCS, any assistance NAMI can offer to ensure PACT clients (and former clients) and their families are aware of the opportunity would be greatly appreciated. While all sessions are technically public, the posting includes registration links for each session which I’ve also included here:
