DESCRIPTION

After much evaluation, research and study including informal interviews with many executive directors, social workers, counselors, coordinators, outreach staff and consumers. We decided it was time to design a program that would bring people together in a forum that is both comprehensive and user friendly to facilitate the exchange of ideas, information pertinent to any and all aspects of critical outreach in Lane County.In this time of economic down turn, budget cuts, lay offs and low wages for front line personnel. The need for strategic planning methodologies is critical to the future of the mental health system and all other providers who deal with any kind of outreach or assistance programs.We live in the age of information over load that can be overwhelming to even the most educated person with years of front line experience. In this digital age information travels fast and changes rapidly. Any system is only as good as its ability to demystify complex charts, diagrams, numbers, symbols, directions, policies, procedures, protocols, rules, regulations and legal jargon. Our intent is to create a system that will break all of these complex variables down to the most basic algorithms possible so that everyone can make sense of it and be able to navigate the system without being led down dead end streets and rabbit holes.As of this moment in Lane County there are many people doing wonderful things in many different areas of outreach. However, our observation indicates that most all of those systems are disconnected from the other system in the critical network. To put it simply our system is not a “one for all and all for one” system. Furthermore, we have not heard of an attempt to rectify this division.As an alternative public radio station we are involved in many areas of outreach, mission, projects, programs and special events. We have also had years of experience of dealing with complex systems. Our goal is to bring together volunteers who will be trained as information specialists and critical outreach coordinators. They will operate within Lane County through the Lane County Community Action Team (CAT). These volunteers will go out into the communities and learn about each and every organization, group, advisory council, network, website, data base, committee, government program, mission, project, program, event, private organization; city, state or government action that effects any and all within Lane County area. These volunteers will also act as advisers, teachers, writers, lecturers, and speakers on a variety of subjects concerning critical outreach and other matters that pertain to personal development and community development.As there is no training or education program to bring them into we will create our own from scratch. These volunteers will also be responsible for the CAT Mobile Information Unit that will travel from area to area to interact with the public at large (I.E.the consumer) to educate them on how to navigate this very complex and confusing system. We will be proposing this to the city council, funding agencies, foundations, colleges and others for paid personnel already within the system to run this powerful project.

  • INTRODUCTION

    After much evaluation, research and study including informalinterviews with many executive directors, social workers, counselors, coordinators, outreach staff and consumers. We decided it was time to design a program that would bring peopletogether in a forum that is both comprehensive and user friendlyto facilitate the exchange of ideas, information pertinent to any and all aspects of critical outreach in Lane County.

    In this time of economic down turn, budget cuts, lay offs andlow wages for front line personnel. The need for strategic planning methodologies is critical to the future of the mental health system and all other providers who deal with any kind of outreach or assistance programs.

    We live in the age of information over load that can be overwhelming to even the most educated person with years of front line experience. In this digital age information travels fast and changes rapidly. Any system is only as good as its ability to demystify complex charts, diagrams, numbers, symbols, directions, policies, procedures, protocols, rules, regulations andlegal jargon. Our intent is to create a system that will break all of these complex variables down to the most basic algorithms possible so that everyone can make sense of it and be able to navigate the system without being led down dead end streets and rabbit holes.

    As of this moment in Lane County there are many people doing wonderful things in many different areas of outreach. However, our observation indicates that most all of those systems are disconnected from the other system in the critical network. To put it simply our system is not a one for all and all for one system. Furthermore, we have not heard of an attempt to rectify this division.

  • As an alternative public radio station we are involved in many areas of outreach, mission, projects, programs and specialevents. We have also had years of experience of dealing with complex systems. Our goal is to bring together volunteers who will be trained as information specialists and critical outreach coordinators. They will operate within Lane County through the Lane County Community Action Team (CAT). These volunteers will go out into the communities and learn about each and everyorganization, group, advisory council, network, website, data base, committee, government program, mission, project, program, event, private organization; city, state or government action that effects any and all within Lane County area. These volunteers will also act as advisers, teachers, writers, lecturers, and speakers on a variety of subjects concerning critical outreach and other matters that pertain to personal development and community development.

    As there is no training or education program to bring them into we will create our own from scratch. These volunteers will also be responsible for the CAT Mobile Information Unit that will travel from area to area to interact with the public at large (I.E. the consumer) to educate them on how to navigate this very complex and confusing system. We will be proposing this to the city council, funding agencies, foundations, colleges and others for paid personnel already within the system to run this powerfulproject.

    It is a shame that this current council is not even on theradar in Lane County. This should be one of the most powerful,aggressive and go to boards in the area but unfortunately it has

    fallen way short of its goal. We hope the CAT can infuse thisboard with new energy, passion and commitment as well as

    bring it into the 21st century with a new direction and focus thatwill shine its lights on everyone who touches it.

  • LANE COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

    The purpose of Lane County Health and Human Servicesis to promote and protect the health, safety,

    and wellbeing of individuals, families and our communities.

    Health and Human Services (H&HS) is a broad based organizationwhich provides system oversight and direct services for clinical and community health, behavioral health (mental health and substance

    abuse), developmental disabilities, youth services, and basicneeds/social services in a largely subcontracted system. The

    subcontract providers are our community partners in a complexservice delivery system.

    The department's use of discretionary general fund is relatively small,given the size of the overall departmental budget. The general fundmoney from Lane County is central for maintaining a core servicelevel and for leveraging of other resources. The H&HS budget is

    largely based on federal, state, and other funders.

  • Strategic Planning (H&HS)

    The department strategic plan is built on four pillars necessary toachieving our mission in the community: 1) Improve and ensure

    equitable and timely access to services; 2) Focus on integrated careand prevention models; 3) Leverage and lead with quality

    information and analytics; and 4) Developing quality outcomes with a focus on efficiency and staff development. This is the foundationfor priority outcomes identified at the department level, the specificdivision level and those for which several divisions are accountable.

    The three priority department wide outcomes are: 1) Reduce smokingin Lane County; 2) Reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences; and 3)

    Improve fiscal sustainability.

    The board of Commissioners has begun a process to engage theorganization and public in the creation of a robust Strategic Plan forLane County. Lane County anticipates the adoption of a Countywide

    Strategic Plan during FY 14-15 that identifies priority goals andobjectives to guide the organization over the next several years.

    In addition, the County will conduct quarterly strategic planworkshops to update the Plan. It is anticipated that Updated

    Countywide goals, with a stronger linkage to Department goals,will be incorporated into the budget document beginning FY 15-

    16.

  • PHASE 2: LANE COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM

    As many of you know doing the same old thing in the same old way will almost always produce the same old results. Many of the Lane County front line advocates and activists have told us that the Lane County Mental Health system is bogged down in the mud of politics and the status quo. These warriors are crying out for something different and unique. Something explosive and mind bending, creative and out of the box.

    We are building the Lane County Mental Health media network. We intend to use current technology to reach out to the consumers, providers, government agencies, suppliers, counselors, social workers, event planners and others through internet radio. We also intend with the help of some of our members on the advisory board to bring community television into this explosive mix to form a very comprehensive, dynamic and informative platform for those in the system. Can you imagine having our own news team, producers, directors, writers, hosts, field producers, teachers, interns all together in one place with clear cut goals and objectives concerning consumer education, training, feedback, community and human development issues that effect all of us.

    We are all players in this game. We are all consumers. We are all providers. Each one effecting the others in some very profound waysthrough some very complex interactions.

    Our motto is:

    Whatever you vividly imagine, ardinately desire and enthusiastically act upon will come to pass.

    Our question is how are we using our energies. Where are we putting our focus? What kind of measurable results are we getting?

    When all of the points in a system communicate effectively with each other and the outcome is a system that is comprehensible, progressive and productive it is then and only then that we can realize that the fruits of our efforts are worth doing.
