we need to discuss at the next Vision Council meeting in March? The plan is to reach out to Kayla & Andrea to confirm the direction of this group, opinions on questions for the mini-guide, and for agreement on the timetable with a start date of mid-February.

Project Harmony in Omaha has been interested in bringing their integration system work and efforts to Iowa. They have the capability to have space for emergency shelters that are a 'hangout' space for youth that have been removed from home, but do not yet have a placement to decrease trauma. How do we know that this placement works? It is still another in-between placement, but with fewer exposures to violent behavior? Chris and Kristie are meeting with them next week (of 1/20) to investigate and see if there is collaborative effort that will work for Iowa.

The Qualified Residential Treatment Program(s) (QRTP) are touring the State Training School on 1/20/23 with Dr. Hess to learn more about their 6 domain process and how it can benefit all congregant care for youth. Weneed to ensure we keep our target population at our focus when exploring this and what will work for each agency. Greg is working with HHS to gather data on number of beds and other data to help us be more in the know, and this group is interested in the BIPOC population Kristie took notes from the Dr. Hess meeting in December if OYWG members are interested in learning more before the report outs come back from the tour.

Indirectly related, the Crisis, Intervention, Stabilization, and Reunification (CISR) contracts will begin bidding efforts for beds in February. Weare aware that there are not enough beds for the number of youth, and a hyper focus for the agencies that are still open and the services they provide are more congruent, or prefer Juvenile Court Services (JCS) over Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) workers. The mental model still exists and trust will take time. What can the Vision Council do to help continue these hard conversations to help develop that trust and shift the paradigm? Are there other places they can be fostered naturally?

Result: Identify measurable actions to make progress forward. Action commitments (AC): Kathy will connect with Gina who is the Early Access Regional Coordinator to find if they are working on HCE as well, and if there are core questions she has about HCE to help formulate a mini guide. She will forward response to Kristina to share with the group. AC: Chris will report out about the STS tour and efforts of QRTP with focus on our target population. She will also report about Project Harmony and relate back to our efforts within the results action plan. AC: Kristina will connect with Kayla & Andrea regarding their thoughts on HCE book club and brainstorming from today's meeting , and if Iowa ACEs 360 will still provide books/timeline. She will connect with Brad (Kathy?) and report out necessary connections to OYWG and Vision Council. She will send out results action plan goals pertinent to this group to help foster conversation if there are other areas to explore should space and capacity allow.

Result: Share reflections and insights to create alignment. The group feels confident in their work towards starting the HCE book club and in keeping the dots connected in work outside of this group.
