Needs Assessment

The Region 7E Adult Mental Health Initiative (AMHI) contracted with Wilder Research to conduct a post-COVID mental health needs assessment for Region 7E, which includes the counties of Chisago, Kanabec, Isanti, Mille Lacs, and Pine. This assessment was conducted via an online survey sent through county staff to mental health consumers and caregivers, as well as primary care providers, mental health providers, and county staff working in the region. These reports summarize the findings from the needs assessment results in our region.

Providers sometimes represented more than one county, and may have their data included in more than one county report. It should be noted that the Ns for county-specific reports are relatively low and conclusions from the data should be made with caution.
