Monmouth County Human Services Survey 2016

Monmouth County is taking a fresh look at the needs, strengths, and interests of county residents, with the goal of improving county human services for everyone. This human services needs assessment is based on a family success framework, an approach that acknowledges the importance of comprehensive and collaborative local policies, programs, and supports that help families and individuals be successful as they go about their lives, along with helpful and effective assistance when needed.

We value the feedback of our residents. We are hoping that you will share your thoughts with us by answering the brief set of questions, below:

1)Could you tell us a little bit about yourself? Are you a provider of services? Are you a resident who has used county services? In what area of the county do you live?

(space to answer)

2)What are some of the strengths or successes of the current human services system in Monmouth County? Have you, or perhaps has someone you know, experienced something positive about a county service – something that went reallywell, was very helpful, or was exactly what you needed at the time? Please tell us about it, in a few sentences:

3)What are some of the challenges of the current system, something that really could be better? Is there anything about the county’s human services system that has not worked well for you or someone you know, over the past year or so, such as a difficulty, a gap in services, a continuing problem? Is there a particular service that would be helpful but that is completely missing?

(space to answer)

3a) Addressing challenges, would you have recommendations for resolving the issue and improving the service?

(space to answer)

4)Lastly, is there something that you would like to see happen for families and individuals in Monmouth County, something that doesn’t seem to fit in with the questions on strengths and challenges, above, but would be very nice to have? A new program? A different approach to a problem?
