There will be a public forum for Lowndes/Brooks counties today at New Beginnings, corner of River Street and St. Augustine Road, from 4-6 p.m.
Sponsoring the forum is the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Region 5 Planning Board, which is responsible for planning services in the 44-county area.
Consumers, family members, parents of public school students with developmental disabilities, and interested public are urged to attend to discuss existing services, gaps in services, and new services needed. Local input is necessary to compile the business plan and ensure continued mental health, developmental disability, and addictive disease services in Lowndes/Brooks counties.
Light refreshments will be served.
For more information, call Linda Floyd at 229-292-3471.
