Announcements
|
· Completed application – Harry Lawrence Gruber from Buncombe County. Arthur suggested contacting potential members from counties that are already filled get permission from the applicant to maybe send their application to QIAC for membership.
· Crisis Bed in the Northern Counties – Yancey/Mitchell Task Force meeting that Charlie attended – The budget needs to be finalized before this can be looked at again. The three-way money cannot be spent for a crisis bed in a hospital without a psych unit in the hospital so the money will have to come from somewhere else. Again – we are waiting for the final budget.
· CARF Review – we received our final report from CARF. This can be viewed on the Western Highlands Website.
· Hearing Voices Training Dates – Saturdays – October 10th, 17th and/or November 14th, 9:00am – 1:00pm or earlier.

· Please email your availability for Voices Training Dates to Heidi as soon as possible so that a date can be confirmed.

Needs Assessment Comments: If and when filling out the survey, the section where it asks “consumer, family member, CFAC member, etc..” , currently you can only pick one but the recommendation is to be allowed to pick more than one. Many times more than one applies.
