Person Served Council

All individuals who receive services through Balsam Care Society are invited to participate in our Person Served Council meetings. We have two Council groups, one in our Adult Residential Facility and one for our downtown services. Each group meets monthly with a facilitator to set needs and priorities for the organization from the perspective of the people receiving our supports. The group explores topics of interest to them, practices new skills, and provides feedback to Balsam leadership. They also take on projects, such as helping develop the Balsam Bill of Rights in 2023. The two groups have joint meetings bi-annually, usually in April
and October. 

Whether you have a lot of ideas and enjoy sharing them with others, or if you need some help when trying to advocate for yourself, the Council is a great place to have a say in what goes on at Balsam and in your community.
