VI. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Dr. Welby Jensen reviewed the Directors Report for July, August and
September. A copy is attached and made part of these minutes. Items of
discussion in addition to the written report included:
Roger asked for clarification on the difference of services provided by Kodiak
Youth Service in their MIP program and the Youth Diversion Group we offer. Dr.
Jensen explained that the minor in posession program is for youth charged with
"minors in posession" only, while the youth defenders group provides group
therapy for youth involved in various types of criminal activity
Steve Honnold inquired about the possibilities of Judy and Narcisco attending
classes locally. Dr Jensen replied that the local college offered a few individual
classes that could be used for continuing education credits but would not provide
the credits needed for this particular associates degree.
Roger voiced concerns about the continuity of care, specifically for the
chronically mentally ill due to the turn over at the center . He asked if there were
specific reasons such as incentive programs or salaries that contributed. Dr.
Jensen responded that the exit interviews did not reflect a specific pattern and
the centers salaries are in the mid to upper mid ranges offered in the State. He
also explained that he was the main provider for the clients that are chronically
mentally ill.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
A. The Mental Health Center's response to the Integrated Quality Assurance
Review Official Report were distributed. A copy is attached and made a part
of these minutes.
B. Committees.
Roger noted that following a previous discussion with Thia and Jody, he
recommends that two committees be formed. One to act as a liaison for the
school program and the other as a liaison for the community at large. He
further recommended that Jody chair the school program and Thia chair the
Community. He stated that each committee would have three main
objectives:
1. To identify issues and provide a proposed action. A copy of the Board
Proposal Status form is attached and made a copy of these minutes.
2. The committee's role was not to seek out problems but to identify issues
to advise the Center's administrators, to provide a proposed course of
action and to document follow up.
3. To allow the Mental Health Advisory Board to become proactive in
problem solving and to become more visible in the community.
B. Committees (cont.).
Discussion included the role of an advisory board vs. a governing board,
whether the formation of committees meets the requirements of the board's
regulations, further clarification of goals and objectives of the committee and
what specific task they were performing and that the two individuals that were
identified as chairperson's were not present at the meeting to state what they
felt their role and responsibilities were. Cecil moved to table the item for the
next advisory board meeting.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
