CJCC Substance Abuse Subcommittee – Regular Meeting – March 28, 2019 10:00 AM Chair Johnson asked the subcommittee if after the review of the March 28, 2019 minutes if any editing was needed. With nothing noted the minutes were accepted as submitted. RESULT: ACCEPTED PUBLIC COMMENT Chair Johnson opened the meeting to public comment for items on or off the agenda. No public comment. BUSINESS ITEMS 1. Review of Current Intoxicated Driver Intervention Program Report Mike O'Keefe provided information on the current Intoxicated Driver Intervention Programs around the area. He handed out some data on the Eau Claire County Operating While Intoxicated(OWI) Early Intervention Program which focuses on 2nd and 3rd offenders, and helps reduce time spent in jail as well as fines incurred. This is a well attended program with a good success rate. The subcommittee members discussed the need for some type of program in St. Croix County around OWI's, and agree that something different needs to be done as the jail is nearing capacity with many in there for OWI offenses. Kate Avoles and Mike O'Keefe will look to provide some additional data from Eau Claire County and possibly the State, including how many offenders are participating in this program, the outcomes/effectiveness, and the amount of case management time involved. O'Keefe stated this program would need to be supported by the District Attorney so he will invite District Attorney Nieskes to the next meeting. RESULT: DISCUSSED 2. Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work Plan-St. Croix County Substance Abuse Survey Drug Court Coordinator Kimberly Kitzberger, Phillip Galli, and Alicia Duven provided an update on where things are at with the substance abuse survey. Kitzberger reports that there was some delay, but now things are moving forward and they have a signed approval/support letter from CJCC Executive Committee Chair, Judge Needham. This can be submitted to UWRF Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the survey should be approved within a couple of weeks. They are also working on a budget which Phillip has submitted and is in draft form. The original budget for this project came in at $10,000 for time and printing with $1000 coming from St. Croix County CJCC budget. They will be working to find other funds for this project, like grant funding, as well as ways to trim the budget. Phillip feels, and the CJCC Substance Abuse Committee agreed, that with the funds currently available ($1000) that we should start moving forward with the pilot of this survey to get some preliminary data. Long range, we can present to the County Board that we are looking to determine what risk factors are most prevalent in St. Croix County and then would work with UWEX along with UWRF to select and implement the best evidence based model on early intervention/prevention program. RESULT: DISCUSSED 3. Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work Plan- Substance Abuses Prevention, Education and Early Intervention Services Survey Kristin Deprey provided an update on the results from the substance abuse prevention, education and early intervention survey as well as plans to compile and use the information that was obtained. Currently they have seven respondents from area school districts; six provide education, five provide prevention, and only two provide early intervention. Most of this information is coming from the health classes and only four indicate they are using evidenced base models. All the schools are using different programming. Kristin signs off on grant applications for schools around substance abuse and sees that much of the programming is pro health vs. anti use. There is a list of programs available from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), so Kristin and Kelli will crosscheck to see if any of these programs are happening within area communities. Next steps would be to determine which of these programs are actually substance abuse prevention work, if they are evidenced based and discuss ways to implement programming across the county in coordination with the substance abuse survey. RESULT: DISCUSSED 4. Healthier Together Needs Assessment and Substance Use Disorder Planned Goals Kristin Deprey reviewed what the Healthier Together needs assessment looks like and some information around their planned substance use disorder goal. Healthier Together is just beginning work on this goal so the CJCC Substance Abuse Subcommittee will wait for more information from the Healthier Together committee on ways to coordinate efforts . RESULT: DISCUSSED 5. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) The Subcommittee reviewed some information that Family Resource Center Administrator Agnes Ring had provided regarding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). Discussion had on how the ACES data/ information could be used to help the subcommittee in determining additional goals. Kitzberger reports that the courts are hesitant in asking these ACES questions due to concern it can do more harm or trigger the trauma. A question raised is how and where could/should ACES information be collected, is there risk involved and how should the information be used? The information could be valuable in understanding why consumers are behaving the way they are, but also should look at a resilience scale as some consumers with high ACES numbers continue to do well. Julie Krings shared that through her Trauma Informed training she has learned that ACES was initially used for more of a community overview and not so much for individuals. This agenda item will be brought back when we can get insight from Agnes Ring on what her thoughts are regarding how to use or integrate ACES. RESULT: DISCUSSED 6. Wisconsin Hospital Association Data Report Chair Johnson provided an update on the request to the WI Hospital Association for data regarding substance use in the hospital emergency rooms. Nothing new to report at this time, though did receive a data use agreement, which has been signed by Corporation Counsel and submitted, so should have more information and data available to review by next meeting. RESULT: DISCUSSED REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS *ACES Discussion *Hospital Data *Survey status updates ANNOUNCEMENTS & CORRESPONDENCE WI Public Radio doing a series on Substance Abuse in Wisconsin.
