Notes

Topic Notes Getting Talent Back to Work Kristi O’Neill and Ashely Olson

There are a lot of people who are lock out of the job market due to their past

Society for Human Resource Management created a toolkit for employers to look at formerly incarcerated to look at as a pool of talent

Toolkit website: https://www.gettingtalentbacktowork.org

As an employer, being up front would raise confidence of the employer.

WorkSource goes to DOC a couple times a month and has heard that the State prisons are aware of a need for transition assistance.

The group agreed to make a coordinated effort across the region to share this toolkit with others. WorkSource may have some funding dedicated to this. Will have a update in June.

Opioid Treatment Network – Family Health Centers received a grant from HCA to develop an Opioid Treatment Network in Okanogan County. The network consists of entry sites (ERs, SEP, OBHC) which provide easy entry into MAT services. There is a coordinator to help patients through the stabilization phase and then clients are connected to Continuation Sites. FHC now has 5 days/week coverage for MAT. Generally they can get someone in for a same day appointment.
