About the committees

The MHSUDAC and IDDAC are groups of members, families, and advocates. They meet to improve the lives of those with MH/SUD and IDD, respectively.
Both committees are in the North Carolina Triad region. These groups collaborate to:

• Improve the public health system
• Discuss ideas for new services
• Provide member feedback

The committees offer grants to area non-profits that serve people with special health needs. Forsyth County provides funding for these groups.

How to get involved

MHSUD and IDD Advisory Committees aren’t limited to the Triad region. If you're interested in starting a committee in your area, contact your local community office.
