Calgary Adolescent Residential Drug Treatment Program Online Survey

October 15th, 2008

Dear Parents and Concerned Adults of a Young Person Involved or Formerly Involved in Significant Drug and/or Alcohol Use:

Hull Child and Family Services, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada is a large non-profit organization that provides a continuum of 26 programs and supports from prevention/early prevention to intensive residential treatment for young children, youth, families and adults.

We are currently in the process of determining whether to expand our services to include a fee-for-service residential drug treatment program for adolescents and their families.

To better meet the anticipated demands of our clients, we are hoping that you could take the time to complete a brief on-line survey. The results of this survey will be used to determine the feasibility of this type of program in Calgary as well as to inform its anticipated cost and design.

All survey information will be anonymously compiled to ensure confidentiality of the sender.

If you would like however to be contacted further about this survey, or to receive future information about a potential program opening, please provide either your e-mail address or other relevant contact information when prompted.

We thank you very much for your time and input!

For more information about Hull Child and Family Services, please check out our website at www.wrhull.com. Or, to contact our Survey Coordinator, Ms. Carolyn Zelt, please e-mail her at czelt@wrhull.com or speak with her by phone at (403) 542-3438.
