Calling all volunteers to provide feedback!

*Our DSHS website** **is getting a facelift!*

As part of our commitment to make it easier to find the information you need, we are seeking input on how to organize our website. To help us gather feedback, a company called Anthro-Tech [ [link removed] ] is hosting in-person workshops in Olympia and Lake City near Seattle. The workshops are two hours long and designed as a kind of Choose Your Own Adventure series of questions called “card sort.”

*What to Expect*

Participants will work in small groups to explore how website content could be organized in a way that makes sense to them. [ [link removed] ]

A researcher will follow up with eligible participants to confirm details. Eligible participants who complete the session will receive a $100 gift card. Those not selected for the in-person card sort will have the opportunity to participate in an online card sort. This current card sort is only for our external partners, not DSHS employees. DSHS employees will have the opportunity to participate in their own specific card-sort survey in the near future. Further details will be coming soon. 

*How You Can Help*

We are looking for people who would like to participate in these workshops. As someone connected to your community, please consider sharing this opportunity with others who have an interest in helping us shape our new DSHS website.

*Questions?*

If you have any questions, contact DSHS Web Services at [email protected].  

Thank you for helping ensure the voices and insights of our partners are included in this process.

*The two-hour live sessions will be held during the week of December 1, 2025. *
