MAYVILLE, N.Y. – The Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene and Social Services will hold public hearings on October 11, 2024, as part of the development of the Chautauqua County Child and Family Services five-year county plan.
The public is invited to participate in these important meetings to learn about the services available in the district and provide feedback on the delivery and provision of these services.

In accordance with state law, at least one public hearing is required during the development of the plan, and notice has been provided at least 15 days prior to the hearings in a newspaper of general circulation. These hearings will specifically address the components of the plan concerning child protective services, adult services, and family and children’s services.
One of the key goals of the public hearing is to inform the community about the services available and how to access them. This is also an opportunity for community members to raise issues and suggest improvements to service delivery. All valid comments and issues raised during the hearing will be incorporated into the planning process.
The plan will remain a draft until after the public hearing, ensuring that public input is considered before finalization.
We encourage all community members to attend and make their voices heard in shaping the future of child and family services in Chautauqua County.
