SIRSS Annual Client Writes Survey

In order to solicit feedback from clients about their perceptions of and satisfaction with services at SIRSS, the Client Writes is distributed twice per year for completion by all SIRSS clients receiving services during a designated two week period of time.

Three separate questionnaires are used to target specific populations. 

  1. The Case Management Module is used for clients in Community Recovery Services (CRS). 

  2. The Outpatient Module, Adult Version is used for clients in Adult Counseling Services (ACS) and Substance Abuse Recovery Services (SARS). 

  3. The Outpatient Module, Child and Adolescent Version is used for clients in Youth Services (YS). 

All three questionnaires ask similar questions, with the Case Management Module focusing more specifically on items such as skills training, residential settings, day treatment, etc., that are more specific to services provided in Community Recovery Services.
