• Forward Horizons is a contracted case manager for 3 newer individuals.

CA:tCH plans
CCS is already using this. It’s a brief need-to-know plan for when someone is in crisis in the Chequamegon Bay area. Can
facilitate plans and update every 6 months. The plan info goes to dispatch so that if someone is in crisis, it will be flagged.
This helps law enforcement to be better informed on how to use their best tools in an emergency to deescalate the
situation.
• May be rolling out as soon as next month instead of 2023 as initially thought.
Other Informational Items:
• Notifications for conferences are coming out. Paulson stated that she wished we had an actual list of camps in
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Lampson volunteered to do some research to compile a list, mentioning Easter Seals is
one but that there is nothing near us. Weyers stated the closest might be True Friends in Annandale, MN
(https://truefriends.org/) and AuSM Camp (https://ausm.org/camps/) for autism in Minnesota.
o It would be nice to make a brochure of these camps once compiled to be able to pass around.
• Paulson mentioned Hooves of Joy is doing incredible work with kids.
Adjournment:
• Meeting adjourned at 10:29 a.m.
