Referral came from a third party and the potential participant decided
against the program
Potential participant did not have an active role in the referral process/no
contact
Open discussion on the agenda layout and necessity to have both the “Opportunity for
Public Comment” and “Consideration for Public and Participant Input.”
o “Opportunity for Public Comment” is for the general public to comment on the
program.
o “Consideration for Public and Participant Input” is for those involved with the
program directly to voice issues or concerns.
Val will be performing a Participant Walk Through to identify any areas of concerns or
issues with the referral/admission process and present the results of this walk through
at the next meeting.

Indianhead Technical College from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
o Committee members are welcome to attend this seminar.
o Langston will also be speaking to the Coordination Committees on February 22,
2016. This meeting will be to address questions by the Committee as well as
discuss the Committee’s role in the CCS Programs. Other counties will also be
invited to this seminar, which is scheduled to be held at New Horizons North at
3:00 p.m.
Availability of the Great Lakes Visitor’s Center will be called on and if
available, the meeting will be held there, rather than New Horizons.
There was open discussion on the attendance issues the Committee has been
experiencing.
o The possibility of phone conferencing was discussed. If a committee member is
unable to make it to the meeting, but would like to telephone in, they are
welcome to do so. Arrangements will be made to accommodate.
o Val Levno presented the Committee with information from the Plan and Policies
in regards to the Committee for possible new recruits/members.
There was open discussion on general appearance of information. Taking out of the Plan
and Policies will be too lengthy and cause disinterested if a person is presented with a
large span of reading in the beginning. Packet should include the purpose of the
committee, how often they meet, as well as be easy to understand and include a way to
apply.
Recruitment at the beginning of the Committee was CSP consumers that would be
possibly moving into CCS.
The need now exists for Parents/Young Adult membership and AODA geared
Participants.
Martha spoke about her experience in being on the committee and how to better
approach explaining the process for CCS, as well as included Participant stories in
brochures for other folks to read about how the program is helping others like them.
Discussion on how to better approach explaining the process for CCS, as well as included
Participant stories in brochures for other folks to read about how the program is helping
others like them.
o Val and Julie will connect to put together a new member recruitment brochure
with the possibility of including experience.
The Committee was given the Satisfaction Survey results to review.
o Rick W requested the Survey results be presented in two forms: one with the
results of those participants not receiving peer support, and the other with the
results of those who do receive peer support. New Horizons will update the
results and present the two sets of data at the next Coordination Committee.
o The Committee also discussed having Participants review the program as a
whole at the time of their annual review in more detail than just the Satisfaction
Survey.
The next meeting is scheduled for April 12, 2016. New Horizons will check on availability
of the Great Lakes Visitor’s Center Multi-Purpose room and inform the committee as to
the location of the meeting.
