OLD BUSINESS
1. Approval of previous meeting’s minutes – Approved as written.
nd
a. Referral to CCS Coordination Committee – Motion made by Rebecca Kerr, 2 by Paul
Wick to accept Michelle Hansen – NAMI St. Croix Valley Board President, Person with
lived experience
2. CCS Enrollment Data – 109 enrolled as of 11/28/25. 26 referrals. 69 kids and 40 adults. Appears
to be typical for this time of year/area and other programs.
3. Internal Program Updates
a. Shannon Starr is the new regional project coordinator. She is fulltime now and provided
a 3-county shared training which was positively received in December for Personality
Disorders.
b. Shannon called out a unique opportunity for a training in 2025 regarding the difference
between self-harm and suicidal ideations.
Question - “open to providers?” - Shannon will pursue with the contact & the 3
counties regarding the logistics of that as soon as things are firmed up.
c. A regional outreach to the area schools has been done, and some did request, and have
received presentations from our service facilitators. Due to no participation with FTA
and CCS not having a contract with them, the referrals are being impacted.
d. Department of Quality Assurance audit was done on 1.22.25. It was a renewal survey
which was very positive & highly complementary regarding our services/staff. It did
include an anonymous complaint for We Adapt. Complaint was not in our county but
due to shared provider we were included on the complaint. This county will receive a
citation. Exit review will be next week and will include the concern regarding some of
those missed required trainings for Initial Training. This provider contract terminated.
i. Providers are required to submit their training logs – it could have been done by
the provider with their staff; however, if not documented it “didn’t happen”.
4. Document on Shared Decision Making was reviewed and will be shared with the committee.
