3.  Other updates.

ü  Ann Knisel reported that she is tasking an intern from Adrian College to capture what has been done in terms of Lenawee becoming a trauma informed community. She will be attending a few of the Core meetings. (Beth Deo – LCMHA and Cortney – DHHS) would also be good resources.

ü  Childhood Trauma – needs to be kept at the forefront. Core members should be thinking about what they should be doing. A trauma coalition? Is there any community members doing additional training? If so all interested parties should be connected so that all working towards the same goal. Also “becoming a trauma informed community” should be included in all strategic plans. The Core group is responsible for communication with community.

ü  Project Lazarus. A question on what is happening since this community event happened? Lenawee ROSC group is working on this. Some of the things suggested are already being done. Trainings for providers (prescribers) regarding safe prescribing practices will be one focus, along with creating leadership groups in the community. Another Addiction Summit is being planned for the spring. An SUD Prevention Plan for Lenawee is almost complete. Sue Lewis noted that trauma trained therapists are being added due to the work being done by the drug court.

ü  Community Foundation & Lenawee Monroe United Way. There was discussion regarding ensuring all potential resources in Lenawee are included – open communication is very important. Conflict in the community should be confronted in an effort to seek balanced and reasonable solutions. Burt Fenby volunteered to seek counsel on being able to move forward – Ben Negron (Meijer Corp) has volunteered to act as an intermediary.

ü  Project Connect – Wednesday January 25th at the Lenawee County Fairgrounds.

ü  Lenawee County Strategic Planning Event – Thursday January 26th, 7:30am & 5:30pm at Siena Heights University, Dominican Hall (Chris to forward information on this to Karen)

ü  City Commission approved a 90 day extension for the Spero project to continue to explore the Training School as a possible location.

ü  Share the Warmth is looking for space in an effort to expand operations to year round. They are also looking for funding. Continuum of Care is supportive of this project, however resources for programming is a concern. Continuum of Care to discuss a plan for funding. Suggestion to share the use of a building with another entity - Engagement Center?
