Norm Miller reported on efforts better understand the movement of adults through the public mental health system. System runs at capacity most of the time. There will be more information on this at future meetings. We are hoping that with better data we can take another run at this. Downside is that as caseloads go down so do the resources.
Data shows that our caseload and demand for services continues to grow.
Ron Bloodworth, Bill Bouska Ron Bloodworth has been working with a statewide planning group since October last year. He has organized a series of community forums for obtaining input. There were 13 forums in February and March with approximately 500 people participating. A Statewide planning committee reconvened in May to review input received, and refine and clarify recommended strategies on what should be in the plan. A draft of the plan will be sent to state agencies for their input and support.
