Carol reports that Freedom House offers Seven Challenges, evidence based substance abuse <br />treatment program for youth that can be done in a group or individually. This program has <br />shown to be more effective than Motivational Interviewing, but does have MI elements in the <br />program. They also offer DBT for youth and are looking to put together a group. Lastly, Triple <br />P is offered in addition to Common Sense Parenting. Freedom House’s child/adolescent <br />psychiatric nurse just left and they are actively recruiting to fill that position. They are always <br />looking to be able to offer new and innovative programming, so let Carol know if there is <br />something you would think would be helpful that may not currently be offered. <br /> <br />Gayane mentioned that there is an Opioid Misuse and Prevention Summit in Raleigh at the end <br />of June. <br /> <br />Stephanie reports that the Juvenile Justice Mental Health Partnership is looking for non-profit <br />clinicians to go to sexual harm training at Cardinal Innovations at the end of June. The training <br />is free for clinicians who plan on staying in the area and plan on taking court-involved youth <br />who have sexually reactive behaviors and will provide evaluation and treatment. <br /> <br />Consultant Update <br />Raise the Age has passed the House but it is stalled as some details (especially around budget) <br />are being sorted out. <br /> <br />Very busy time right now as program agreements are being reviewed. <br /> <br />Rebekah has been pulling together the very lengthy Annual Plan and Certification on behalf of <br />the JCPC. Documents are together and just waiting on BOCC approval. <br /> <br />Denise will be contacting programs to schedule State monitoring, probably sometime in the fall. <br /> <br /> Next JCPC Meeting: Friday, August 4, 2017; Location: Southern Human Services <br />Center, 2501 Homestead Rd, Chapel Hill NC <br /> <br />
