Consumer
Advisory board
SHAPE THE FUTURE OF SERVICES
The Consumer Advisory Board (CAB) is comprised of individuals or family members of individuals who receive services from Liberty Resources that are tied to our designation as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC).
The board serves as a platform for consumers to provide feedback share their experiences and contribute to improving services. This ensures that the voices of our clients and their families are heard and considered in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of services. The Consumer Advisory Board collaborates with clinic staff to identify areas for improvement, advocate for client needs, and promote client-centered care.
