Abstract
Comprehensive Mental Health Planning required the involvement of the professional and lay communities. These program areas were selected for study: Mentally Ill Adults, Mentally Ill Children, Problem Areas, and Mental Retardation. The planning effort coordinated mental health and mental retardation programs. 450 professionals worked on 42 Task Forces; 2500 volunteers participated in the 8 regional committees producing an inventory of resources and a survey of need as well as current statements of philosophy of treatment modalities. These data are being treated for presentation as Comprehensive Mental Health and Comprehensive Mental Retardation Plans. The use of volunteer citizens to produce respectable substantive reports is probably unique on this mammothscaled effort.
