(5) barriers, if any, to receiving available services at a family justice center, including actual or perceived barriers based on immigration status, criminal history, substance use disorder or mental health issues, or privacy concerns, and potential means to mitigate any identified barriers to accessing services and for improving the utilization rate of services.
