The Mental Retardation Authority of Central Counties Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services is conducting a public forum with two available sessions offered to the community on Feb. 2 from 3-4 p.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. at the Temple MHMR Main Center, 304 S. 22nd St., Temple.

Individuals need to attend only one of the two sessions. The forum will be conducted via videoconference to the Lampasas, Gatesville, Hamilton, Killeen and Cameron MHMR offices.

Purpose of the forum is to gather public input on what services and supports people feel are important that CCCMHMR should provide to residents in local communities who have been diagnosed with mental retardation and/or autistic spectrum disorder.

A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

For more information, phone Keith Maxwell at (254) 298-7096.
