Arts Access NC Announces
A Statewide Needs Assessment
Survey for People with Disabilities and Their Families:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z7DW5LZ
Survey for People with Disabilities and Their Families:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZVNS3YN
You may also request a hard copy to be mailed to you or we can also give you the survey over the phone. Call 919-271-3001.
More about the Survey: In partnership with VSA Arts and the NC Arts Council, Arts Access seeks to develop a statewide arts and disability network to promote opportunities for people with disabilities to experience quality arts education, community cultural activities and nurture individual artistic talent. Information from the survey will be used to develop programming, educator training, and future grant opportunities. VSA Arts (formerly Very Special Arts) partnered with North Carolina during the 1980’s and 1990’s as an official affiliate but has been dormant since that time. This assessment will determine the interest in reviving that partnership. The project coordinator is Betsy Jones Ludwig. There will be a written survey, interviews and focus groups around the state. Please contact Betsy if you would like to participate. Phone: 919-271-3001, email:

Compiled by Western Highlands and CFAC
Findface-to-face and telephone support networks for consumers and families dealing with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and/or substance abuse in the eight counties of the Western Highlands Network. Although family members or professionals lead most of the groups, there are a number run by and for adult consumers.
This is a heart-warming sign that many consumers are taking the challenge of recovery upon themselves. There are also some adult-supervised support groups for teenagers.We hope that at least one of the support connections will be just what you, or someone you know, are looking for.
Contact Angie Garner, WHN System of Care Coordinator, if you need to request a copy.
