CART will be at Peoples Oakland on Tuesday, October 21st, from 10:00 am - approx. 1:00 pm

The Allegheny County Consumer Action Response Team (CART) gathers feedback from consumers of publicly-funded behavioral health services, which include mental health services and drug and alcohol treatment for adults, children and families.

CART conducts face-to-face or telephone interviews with service recipients and their families and summarizes the feedback so that it can be used for quality improvement by the Department of Human Services and its treatment providers. Annual reports highlight significant trends and findings as collected by CART during its interviews. These reports are available to anyone on the DHS website.

About Us

Peoples Oakland is a private non-profit agency established by local residents as a community, planning and organizing agency. Originally, the mission was to enhance the integrity of the community through communications and negotiation among residents, merchants and institutional representatives. Peoples Oakland was very successful in its early organizing efforts, leading to the development of several community wide planning structures which still operate today.

The Peoples Oakland Mental Health Program was founded in response to the crisis faced by thousands of state mental hospital patients who, through deinstitutionalization programs, were released into the community with few supporters or social connections. Peoples Oakland began to organize former state hospital patients, providing education to support them in advocating for the rights.
