system of care values that are effectively including the family voice.

3. Issues or Planning details regarding the Training institutes:
Gary Macbeth reminded us that the Institutes are packed. He reminded us to
register immediately and to really check the Agenda and all of the pre-
institute events.
4. Feedback on the Website:
Gary Mac Beth asked how to most efficiently get information on the site and
updated. Gary Blau said it should be sent to the SOC email address
or Contact Us link on the website. Gary Blau
stated that if you have not been able to get information on or changed within
two weeks send it to him and he will take care of it.
5. Discussion of communications survey:
Maria Rodriguez gave the history of the survey which came out of a discussion
on the last call. It had been mentioned that sites needed to learn about
the CCC as a way of improving their understanding of the system. The
survey was meant to be a tool for the CCC members to communicate what they feel
is important about the CCC before we go further in describing it to all the
sites and others. There was a discussion of the CCC with Sai-ling stating
that it is an advisory board and Keith reminding us that communities need to
know of its existence likening it to a wraparound team for the branch. Lisa
felt that it gave a new resource to sites by having them aware of another
avenue for their input.
Marjorie requested that people submit their surveys by July 10th
and to make sure that they responded with 2 bulleted responses. She will
collate the surveys and they will go back to the communications committee who
will share the outcome with the CCC.
5. Remember our face to face meeting on Friday July 14th at
6:00pm -8:30 pm in Florida.
6.Partner Sharing.
Regenia Hicks shared information about CQI pilots which will
happen through the 4 RTACS and start up team process which is almost
completed. Integrated CQI will be included in Federal Site visits as
well. Data will be utilized to support choices in TA planning for
individual sites.
Theresa King shared wonderful news about the Cleveland Parent
Advisory Council which now has parent representatives on all governance
committees for their local system of care. Parent voice in their
community is being heard at all levels and capacities.
Gary MacBeth presented the exciting information that the
Cultural And Linguistic Competency Primer gathered its best thinkers with
NAMBHA at a meeting on June 5th and6th to start the process of Developing the
content for the primer. It will go to the next level, and will be a
how to resource rather than just a consolidation of resources.
Barbara Friesen shared that the Youth Stigma Survey
conducted by
the Harris Pollsters and designed by Portland State will be available for sites
and for release. Maria Rodriguez played a key part in talking to Harris
who will release some of the data and interact with sites to also share it.
Maria and Lisa shared that fact sheets for families and youth
on ADHD, Bipolar, and system of care are available in Spanish. The branch
is leading the way in linguistic competency through its material
translations. Kudos to all.
Youth Guide: Move is developing a Youth Guided System
of Care manual that will be entirely youth
designed. It is an outstanding accomplishment and speaks to the
commitment of Move to help us truly become youth driven.
Brigette Manteuffel announced that System of Care briefs have
passed inspection and can be distributed. There will be a link on
the website for the briefs. This includes the briefs through
