As part of statewide Needs Assessment, the Division for Family and Community Health at the Texas Department of State Health Services is currently conducting a survey of families that have a child with special health care needs and the health and safety of Texas communities. This assessment will help guide our priorities of how to improve the health of Texas families for the next five years.

We are seeking input from ANY Texas family who has a child with special health care needs. Survey participation is voluntary and anonymous, and the survey should only take 15 minutes to complete.

 There are 2 links available:

English:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TX_CSHCN2014 

Spanish:  https://es.surveymonkey.com/s/ESP_CSHCN2014

Please share with everyone in your network. Our goal is to reach as many Texas families as possible so we have a realistic picture of the needs and strengths of families with children with special health care needs around the state. After all, families know their needs and strengths in a way that we cannot.

 The survey will be open until August 30, 2014. If you have questions or need assistance with this survey, please contact MaternalHealth@dshs.state.tx.us

 We appreciate your support, outreach, and input!
