    Dear Association Executives - Following up on the discussion during yesterday's meeting, below is some draft language that can be shared with your members on CDC's Youth Substance Use Provider Needs Assessment. Pease share this with your members and do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.


    The survey is hyperlinked below, but including the direct link just in case: http://selfserve.decipherinc.com/survey/selfserve/1fe2/210116?list=1

    Sample Language

    The National Council for Behavioral Health has launched a new initiative in collaboration with the CDC seeking to address youth substance use prevention for young people ages 12 - 18 years. To better understand and capture the impact of COVID-19 on availability and access to youth substance use prevention and treatment services, youth engagement and real and perceived barriers to care, we are asking youth-serving providers (like you!) from community behavioral health organizations, primary care, public health, and community-based organizations who do work in substance use prevention and/or treatment to complete this short 15-minute survey. The information from this survey will help to inform the development of tools and resources for effective messaging, engagement, and prevention efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, recovery, and in preparation for future disasters. The survey is open until Wednesday, February 10th and all who complete it can enter a raffle for the opportunity to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards!

    Questions? Feel free to reach out to me or Stephanie Swanson (StephanieS@thenationalcouncil.org).

    Thank you for your time and support in addressing and preventing youth substance use!

    Best,

    Sam
