CHIMACUM PREVENTION COALITION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
OVERVIEW OF PLAN
CHIMACUM PREVENTION COALITION
The Chimacum Prevention Coalition (CPC) is a volunteer prevention advocacy organization that brings
parents, schools, agencies, community groups, and community members together to work on preventing
youth substance use and abuse in the geographic area specific to the Chimacum School District. CPC works in
collaboration with the Chimacum School District, Olympic Educational Service District 114 and Jefferson
County Public Health. Founded in the fall of 2013, CPC is governed by citizen volunteers and representatives
from local agencies.
MISSION
Uniting kids, families and agencies in support of healthy youth in Chimacum.
GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND DEMOGRAPHICS FOR CHIMACUM SCHOOL DISTRICT
Chimacum is an unincorporated community in East Jefferson County on the Olympic Peninsula in
Washington State. Chimacum School District is a small, rural district with significant transportation barriers
and limited access to community resources. It serves the unincorporated communities of
East Jefferson County to the south of Port Townsend and north of Quilcene, including Chimacum, Port
Hadlock, Irondale, Marrowstone Island, Oak Bay, Paradise Bay, Port Ludlow, and Shine.
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) provides demographic data for students in the
Chimacum School District. For the 2012-2013 school year there were 1,069 students enrolled in Chimacum
School District. The racial makeup was 81.9% white; 7.5% Hispanic; 2.2% Asian/Pacific Islander; 1.8%
Asian;1.4%; American Indian /Alaskan Native;0.8% Black; and 6.3% two or more races. In May2013 50.8% of
the students received free or reduced meals; 14.6% received special education services; 3.1% had 504
Plans*, 0.1%received transitional bilingual services; with no migrant students or students in foster care. In
2013-2014 there are 114 students in home school and private school (10% of all students).
*Section 504 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that prohibits discrimination based upon disability. Section 504 is an anti-discrimination,
civil rights statute that requires the needs of students with disabilities to be met as adequately as the needs of the non-disabled are met.
CPC PRIORITIES IN THIS STRATEGIC PLAN
From the first Coalition meeting CPC simultaneously developed the Coalition structure and the coordinated
strategic plan that follows in the next pages. The Plan is based on extensive research conducted by CPC
members to determine the needs of youth and families in the community. Research led CPC to prioritize the
following Risk and Protective Factors:
RISK FACTORS DOMAIN
1. Community Connectedness Community
2. Alcohol Availability Community
3. Favorable Attitudes /Low Perception of Harm Peer/Individual
4. Early Initiation of Drug Use Peer/Individual
5. Family Management Problems Family
~ 6 ~
STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES
In order to reach the Coalition’s goals/objectives and expected outcomes, the next few years will be
dedicated to the following:
Reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors through evidence-based prevention policies,
programming and services.
CPC activities are designed to be free, accessible and widely promoted in the community.
There is a continual need for education and training around substance abuse prevention, intervention,
treatment and aftercare and the impact Alcohol and drug use has on youth, families and the community.
Education needs to be directed at policy makers, parents, students and community members.
All parenting programs to be implemented are universal.
All youth prevention programs to be implemented are universal, with the primary venue for the
implementation being the public schools, alternative schools, private schools, the Teen Center and the
Boiler Room (both the Teen Center and The Boiler Room are drug-free alternative non-profit program for
youth and both serve Chimacum youth).
Facilitation of programs selected will need to be through a broad range of venues, including churches,
schools, pre-school agencies, etc.
Funding and sustainability are always going to be concerns. This will be a major focus requiring
additional support to seek funding from multiple avenues and sources (public and private).
Collaboration and cooperation are REQUIRED. CPC has brought community groups and members to the
table and all have a strong commitment to the health and well-being of children and families. There is a
common understanding that ALL need to work together to provide adequate supports in the Chimacum
community. Previous significant partnerships are being made stronger (e.g. Chimacum School District,
Jefferson County Public Health, OESD 114, the Teen Center, 4-H, YMCA, etc.) and new partnerships are
being created (e.g. CPC membership).
IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION
Working with community partners, such as the WSU 4-H program, Jefferson County Public Health, Chimacum
School District, OESD114, community churches, etc., CPC will be implementing a direct service evidence-
based parenting program, a public awareness campaign and an environmental strategy. Evaluations of these
will be pre/post tests, an annual Community Survey, and future Chimacum Healthy Youth Surveys. Based on
the evaluations, CPC will be continually refining and modifying its prevention strategic plan to increase the
Coalitions’ ability to effectively reach the expected outcomes of reducing underage drinking and other drug
use. It is also the goal of CPC that these prevention strategies and activities will have a measurable, positive
impact on other problems behaviors related to youth alcohol and drug use.
ELEMENTS IN THE CHIMACUM PREVENTION COALITION STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan developed by CPC describes:
The mission, vision and key values of CPC.
Protocols for decision making.
Coalition structure and organization.
Rules for membership and participation.
Efforts aimed at community engagement and education.
Key findings from the needs and resources assessments
An implementation plan that outlines how CPC will address key findings
An evaluation plan to help determine effectiveness of CPC’s Strategic Plan activities.
~ 7 ~
LOGIC MODEL
The logic model is a useful visual aid that provides an overview of the Chimacum Prevention Coalition’s
Strategic Plan. The Long-Term Outcome Consequences (red columns) and Behavioral Health Problems
(purple column) show the consequences and health outcomes that CPC seeks to address. The next two
columns titled Intervening Variables and Local Condition &Contributing Factors incorporate key finds from
the data and resource assessment completed by CPC. Intervening variables and local conditions consist of
factors unique to the Chimacum community that impact the long-term consequences and behavioral health
outcomes listed in the first two columns. Items in the Strategies & Local Implementation column represent
the local strategies CPC plans to implement to address the local conditions. The last column, Evaluation,
depicts how CPC will assess if its strategies are effective.

CHIMACUM PREVENTION COALITION
STRATEGIC PLAN
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
VISION, MISSION AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Vision Statement: Healthy Kids, Healthy Families.
Mission Statement: Uniting kids, families and agencies in support of healthy youth in Chimacum.
Statement of Purpose/Goal:
The Chimacum Prevention Coalition deeply values the following:
Universal education and support for all parents and families
Universal prevention for all youth (Funding from DBHR will be used for substance abuse prevention
programs/activities/strategies)
Creating easy access/reducing barriers to programs and services
Reaching out to the most vulnerable and often under-served segments of the community (who are
often the hardest to reach)
Building community capacity through collaboration, partnership and cooperation, especially in a
time of limited resources
Strategic Planning Framework:
The CPC Strategic Plan was developed through implementation of the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF).
The SPF provided the structure with the following 5 phases for the Coalition to develop its strategic plan:
Phase 1: Get Started
Phase 2: Assessment
Phase 3: Planning
Phase 4: Implementation
Phase 5: Evaluation
Ongoing: Capacity Building
~ 9 ~
Risk and Protective Factors: When selecting appropriate strategies to meet the needs of the Chimacum
community, CPC relies on the research framework of risk and protective factors. This framework outlines 21
risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease the likelihood that youth will abuse substances,
drop out of high school, be affected by depression, get in trouble with law enforcement or become pregnant.
The more risk factors youth possess, the more likely they are to experience adverse outcomes. The more
protective factors youth possess the less likely they are to experience adverse outcomes. Therefore, CPC
advocates for and implements programs and services that increase protective factors and decrease risk
factors among youth in the Chimacum community.
COALITION STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
Coalition Development:
Development of the Chimacum Prevention Coalition: Chimacum, Washington was identified as the selected
community in Jefferson County to develop a Coalition to implement the Division of Behavioral Health and
Recovery (DBHR) Community Prevention and Wellness Initiate (CPWI) goals and objectives in July 2013.The
CPC works in collaboration with Chimacum School District, Olympic Educational Service District 114 (OESD
114) and Jefferson County Public Health.
Organizational Structure:
The leadership structure of the CPC is an Executive Committee comprised of the Chairperson, Vice-
Chairperson, and Secretary. These positions are elected each calendar year with a majority vote.
The Executive Committee conducts the meetings; maintaining an accurate and complete record of all Board
proceedings; oversees the Board’s books and documents; sends out notices of meetings and other relevant
communications to Board members and the public; prepares agendas and supplementary documents as
authorized by the Board; carries out other duties as directed by the Board and required by law. The
Executive Committee is supported by the CPWI Community Coordinator(s).
Board membership is drawn from the following sectors: business, civic/volunteer, healthcare, law
enforcement, media, parents, religious/fraternal, schools, state/local government, youth (under 18), youth-
serving organizations, organizations involved in reducing substance abuse, and mental health organizations.
Jefferson County Public Health is the fiscal agent.
The CPC Work Groups are:
Public Relations/ Recruitment (initially named “Getting Started/Recruitment”)
Assessment
Planning
Implementation/ Sustainability
Evaluation
Cultural Competency
(See page 8 for Organizational Chart)
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
CPC has decided that because the coalition membership is determined by attendance
at each meeting, making the composition of membership highly variable, work groups will
be formed as specific needs arise and members will be recruited for these work groups at the time these
needs are first addressed at a CPC meeting. The Executive Committee and CPWI Coordinators will also do
outreach to other community members as needed in order to meet the needs of special projects. In addition
the Executive Committee and the CPWI Coordinators have assumed the year-round responsibilities of the
Public Relations / Recruitment work group and will solicit assistance from other CPC Members as needed.
(See new Organization Chart on page 12)
~ 10 ~
Decision Making:
The Executive Committee guides the CPC in setting policy and developing and implementing prevention
strategies. All decisions are made by a majority vote of the Board. Prior to a Board vote, all topics are
presented in a respectful manner to facilitate an open discussion among Board members. If the Board does
not believe that the issue has been fully discussed or if more information is need to make an informed
decision, an agenda item may be held over for a future meeting.
Communication:
The internal communication with the Executive Committee, CPC members, the Work Groups and the CPWI
Community Coordinator(s) is done by phone calls, emails, and meetings. All Board members receive
pertinent documents one week prior to Board Meetings. If requested, materials will be mailed. If further
clarification is needed, a one-on-one phone conversation or meeting is scheduled prior to the Executive
Committee Meetings and the Board Meetings. This lays the foundation for agenda items and related issue
discussions at the Board Meetings. The Executive Committee and the CPWI Community Coordinator(s) are
careful to present all issues in a culturally competent manner so as to create an open, supportive and
respectful environment for Board discussions.
In terms of Coalition communication with other community partners, policy makers, media and the larger
Chimacum community, the Public Relations Work Group and the CPWI Community Coordinators take the
direction for these communications from CPC and the Executive Committee as determined at Board
Meetings. Public outreach is done through multiple channels; press releases, posters, flyers, brochures and
email distribution lists.

MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Rules for Membership and Voting: CPC is following the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery
CPWI sector guidelines. CPC has established that anyone attending a meeting is a Coalition member
and can participate in the voting process.
Tracking Membership Involvement in Coalition Efforts:
Tracking of membership involvement and participation will be done by the CPWI Community
Coordinator(s). The tracking of Board members and other community members involvement will be by
reviewing attendance and participation sign-in sheets at Board Meetings, Work Group Meetings,
Coalition sponsored events and other related community activities / events.
Plan to Maintain Participation from at Least 8 Sectors:
The CPC recognizes that its strength, effectiveness and future success depends on having a diverse
membership. It prioritizes finding members from the following key sectors of the community:
Youth (under 18)
Parents
Business
Civic/volunteer
Healthcare
Law Enforcement
Media
Religious/fraternal
Schools
State/Local Government
Youth-serving organizations
Organizations involved in reducing substance abuse
Mental Health organizations
The Public Relations / Recruitment Work Group and staff will carefully track sector representation on
the Board. Recruitment efforts are ongoing to have representation with the goal to have and maintain
in all twelve sectors representation.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
The Executive Committee and the CPWI Coordinators have and will continue to carefully track sector
representation on the Board, as well as taking on the year-round responsibilities of public relations and
recruitment. These efforts are ongoing with the goal of having and maintaining representation in all
twelve sectors.
To support the broadest possible membership and to maintain long term participation, the CPC
Executive Committee works to maintain the following: establishing regular meeting days and times;
convenient and accessible meeting locations; sensitivity to the timing of other community events;
relevant meeting topics and contents; participant roles; and ongoing topical Coalition and community
trainings.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
CPC Members are highly active members in many different community groups and organizations, making it
difficult for some members to consistently attend the regular CPC meetings. The Executive Committee and
the CPWI Coordinators have established a one-on-one group titled “AD-HOC Advisory” in order to establish
~ 14 ~
one-on-one meetings that the CPWI Coordinators have with CPC Board Members who are committed to
the work of the Coalition, and willing to do the work of the Coalition, but are unable to regularly attend the
established CPC regular meeting.
Prevention / Intervention Specialist Involvement with CPC:
The Prevention / Intervention Specialist at Chimacum High School is an active member of CPC,
attending regular Coalition Meetings and working on Work Groups for the Coalition. In addition, the
P/I Specialist reports to the Coalition about the work of the P/I in CHS which includes:
-6 to 8-week prevention classes for 9th grade classes
-8 to 12 weeks process groups for selected and indicate youth, and Individual prevention
assessment using the evidence-based Brief Intervention Program.
In addition, CPC will support the P/I Specialist in special activities, such as the youth social norms
campaign.
Recruitment of Non-Fiduciary / Volunteer Membership:
Recognizing that recruitment of non-fiduciary /volunteer members for CPC membership and
participation is a significant challenge, the Public Relations/ Recruitment Work Group, working with the
Executive Committee and CPWI Community Coordinator(s) will compose an ongoing list of community
members that the CPC members believe to be good candidates for the work of the Coalition. A variety
of recruitment methods, such as letters, one-one meetings and phone calls, will be employed to invite
community members to attend Coalition Meetings, activities and presentations.
Orientation of New Members, Partners, Agencies and Stakeholders:
Taking direction from the Executive Committee and the Coalition, CPWI Community Coordinator(s) will
meet one-on one with new members for an orientation. An orientation notebook will be provided to
assist the new member to the work of the Coalition and its policies and procedures. Mentorship from
an existing member will be offered to new members. The Executive Committee, individual Coalition
members and the CPWI Community Coordinator(s) will make presentations about the work of CPC
informally to community partners, agencies and stakeholders whenever possible.

CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Demographic Diversity of the Chimacum School District Catchment Area:
Chimacum Data Only
Chimacum is an unincorporated community in East Jefferson County, on the Olympic Peninsula in
Washington State. Because it is unincorporated, there is no specific demographic data for the
Chimacum community. However, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) provides
demographic data for students in the Chimacum School District. In the fall of the 2012-2013 school
year there was 1,069students enrolled. The racial makeup was 81.9% white; 7.5% Hispanic; 2.2%
Asian/Pacific Islander; 1.8% Asian; 1.4%; American Indian /Alaskan Native;0.8% Black; and 6.3% two or
more races. In the May, 2013 50.8% of the students received free or reduced meals; 14.6% received
special education services; 3.1% had 504 Plans; and 0.1% received transitional bilingual services; with
no migrant students or students in foster care. In 2013-2014 there are 114 students in home school
and private school (10% of all students).
Chimacum School District serves the unincorporated communities of East Jefferson County to the
south of Port Townsend and north of Quilcene, including Chimacum, Port Hadlock, Irondale,
Marrowstone Island, Oak Bay.
Jefferson County Data (where Chimacum specific data not available)
Jefferson County is a county located on the Olympic Peninsula in the north western portion of the
State of Washington. The county seat and only incorporated city is Port Townsend.
The county is split in three parts by its landforms: Eastern Jefferson County along the Strait of Juan de
Fuca, Admiralty Inlet, and Puget Sound; Central Jefferson County, which is uninhabited and lies in the
Olympic Mountains within Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest; and Western Jefferson
County, along the Pacific Ocean.
The 2014 Health of Jefferson County reports the following:
Population 30,275 in 2013;White 90% (State 75%); Black 0.7% (State 4%); American Indian /Alaskan
Native 3% (state 2%); Asian /Pacific Island 2% (State 7%);Hispanic 3% (State 10%);Median Age 55.1
(State 37.8); High School degree or less 29% (State 34%); Some post high school 36% (State35%);
Bachelor’s degree 21% (state 20%); Graduate/Professional degree 15% (State 11%); Unemployment
rate 8.9 (State 7.0);Median household income $46,651 (State $56,444); Children 5-17 living in poverty
20.8% (State 16.8%); Medicaid paid births 58.9% (State 50.3%)
The four largest employment sectors in terms of wages paid were Educational
services/Healthcare/Social assistance, Retail, Manufacturing, and Construction. The economy
continues to be influenced by seasonal and cyclical factors (tourism, resource based). Jefferson County
has become a “mailbox economy”. The term refers to the population of a particular area whose
primary income is derived from a source other than wages, such as social security and retirement
incomes.
Norms, Values, Beliefs, Practices, Socioeconomic Characteristics, Risk and Resiliency Factors, Cultural
Considerations and Unique and Special Needs:
CPC members determined that race, ethnicity, religion and age represent small diversity issues in the
community, while socio-economic status and geography create the primary diversity issues in the
community. In addition, Chimacum holds itself apart from the city of Port Townsend which is 12 miles
north, priding itself in being rural, self-sufficient and family and neighborhood focused. It has a strong,
active faith-based presence.
~ 17 ~
Understanding of Cultural Competence / Recruitment:
CPC understands “Cultural Competence” as the ability to effectively interact with people of diverse
socio-economic backgrounds, ethnic groups, cultures, residential environments (rural and city), types
of employment, etc., and recognizes that cultural competence starts with valuing all of this diversity.
CPC determined that the most pressing cultural competency issues are:
Identify if the needs of low income families are adequately considered when prioritizing
community needs in comparison to the more affluent residents,
Balancing the allocation of resources to provide universal programs and services to
youth/families, and
Access to those programs and services, including financial hardship, transportation barriers and
actual availability of services/programs that are population-based (due to rural location).
Ensure Cultural Competence:
The Cultural Competency Work Group, working with the Executive Committee and the CPWI
Community Coordinator(s) will provide annual cultural competency training to members and the
community at large, as well as actively seeking members from the different elements of the
community to participate in the Coalition and in Coalition activities.
SUSTAINABILITY IN ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
CPC’s Vision, Mission and Purpose as defined in the By-Laws were developed to ensure the
sustainability of the ongoing work of the Coalition. See Appendix A.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
Since the beginning of CPC, the Coalition has experienced difficulty in reaching / recruiting youth and adults who
would represent the different identified group that are a part of the cultural diversity established by the area’s
varied socio-economic status, geography and an independent rural identity. CPC has experience the biggest
gains in these efforts through one-on-one meetings between Coalition Members and other community
members and through the appeal of the topics presented in the Public Awareness events. These efforts will
continue, as well as the Coalition’s continued efforts to find other means to reach / recruit more members, such
as utilization of different social media outlets. For example, new, younger Coalition Members are posting events
on their personal Facebook pages and all CPC flyers now come with QR code.
In addition CPC will follow the general timelines listed below for the even/odd school years and the odd/even
school years, with the months of July and August to be used by CPC Members to plan for the corresponding
school year.
~ 18 ~
CAPACITY BUILDING
OUTREACH
Shared Values with Other Prevention Programs:
The CPC’s goals for reducing underage drinking and other substance use dovetails with the general
efforts and concerns of the following key community partners: Chimacum School District, Olympic
Service District 114, Jefferson County Public Health, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department and the
Jefferson County Substance Abuse Advisory Board as well as many other community organizations and
groups. Historically, the Healthy Youth Coalition (HYC) was the hub for coordinating community
substance abuse prevention efforts in Jefferson County. Due to funding reductions, the HYC no longer
meets, but HYC member organizations now participate on and with the CPC.
Seeking Input from and Involving the Community in Coalition Efforts and Work:
Starting in July 2013, the newly developed CPC’s outreach is in its beginning stages. Outreach has and
will be focused on providing information about CPC, its vision, mission and goals, raising awareness
about the impacts of underage drinking and substance use and other factors that contribute to these
issues. The methods of outreach are both formal and informal.
Formal:
The CPC will sponsor Coalition activities and events that focus on increasing public awareness
about the issues related to underage drinking and substance use, and networking and
collaboration with community partners.
The Public Relations / Recruitment Work Group has and will write press releases, flyers and
educational materials on topics related to underage drinking and other substance use issues
that are distributed to local print and radio media, as well as distributed throughout the
community. (Please see Appendix B and C for an example of a promotional brochure produced
by CPC in September, 2013 and then modified in February 2014.)
Informal:
Due to Jefferson County’s small rural setting, CPC Board members and staff play multiple roles
in the community and frequently share their Coalition participation with other community
organizations and members. For example, CPC Board Coalitions and staff are also involved
organizationally with Girl Scouts, Rhythm Planet, O’Meara Dance, the Poetic Justice Theatre
Ensemble, the YMCA, the Wooden Boat Foundation, Irondale Church, WSU Jefferson County
Extension, and Jefferson County Fair Association.
Key Leader Involvement:
CPC will provide an annual Key Leader Orientation to inform Key Leaders and other community
~ 19 ~
members as to the ongoing work of the Coalition. This orientation will be the primary avenue for
recruiting Key Leaders input and involvement in all phases of the ongoing Coalition development.
TRAINING/TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (TA)

REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
CPC will budget DBHR funds for attendance to the November, 2015 National Prevention Summit in
Seattle for youth, Coalition Members and CPWI Coordinators.
DBHR funds will be budgeted for costs and fees associated with the CPWI Coordinators registering to
become Certified Prevention Professionals.
In addition, Kelly Matlock, the CPWI Coordinator, will be retiring in the fall of 2016. All efforts will be
made to mentor/train a new staff member to move into the CPWI Coordinator position and DBHR
funds will be budgeted for training money to support this training/mentoring transition. Depending on
the experience of the person to replace Kelly Matlock, money will be budgeted from DBHR funds to
cover all fees and costs for the Certified Prevention Specialist process.
Knowing that the Public Awareness campaign in the 2014-2015 school year has been very successful,
the Coalition is working on topics for the Public Awareness campaign for the 2015-2016 school year.
DBHR funds are being budgeted for these events.
~ 20 ~
CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN CAPACITY BUILDING
CPC members are developing strategies to overcome the geographical and transportation challenges
to its continued outreach efforts. Strategies that will be employed, but are not limited to, are one-on-
one meetings, phone calls with community partners and members representative of the different
geographic and socio-economically diverse groups in Chimacum, and media messages will be tailored
to best reach the different geographic and socio-economically diverse groups in Chimacum, such as
church and business newsletters, etc.
SUSTAINABILITY IN CAPACITY BUILDING
The CPC Sustainability Plan will focus on maintaining and further development of:
Community awareness of the impact of underage drinking, substance use/abuse and other
related contributing factors and issues. In addition to a yearly Key Leader Orientation, the CPC,
working with other community partners, will sponsor other community trainings, workshops,
events and activities.
New private and public funding sources and community collaborations / partnerships that
address the Coalition’s mission and goals will be identified. The Implementation and
Funding/Sustainability Work Groups are focusing on understanding funding streams/finding
new funding sources, creating sustainability for prevention programs (parenting, family, school-
based, community-based), meeting regularly to address funding options and existing and
possible partnerships/collaborations.
The value that the community places on the ongoing implementation and evaluation of the
Prevention Strategic Plan: The Public Relations / Recruitment Work Group and CPC Coalitions
promotes the work of the Coalition by conversations and presentations to community groups,
writing relevant press releases for media, and disseminating public awareness materials. They
emphasize education about pertinent issues regarding substance abuse prevention,
intervention, treatment and aftercare and parenting issues. The Public Relations / Recruitment
Work Group sets the direction for other promotions (i.e. the Jefferson County Sheriff’s
Department’s Drug-take Back Program.)
All of the above mentioned efforts will be focused on Key Leaders in the Chimacum area, as
well as the community at large.

ASSESSMENT OF COMMUNITY
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
PROCESS
Chimacum Prevention Coalition’s Community Needs Assessment Work Group Members:
The following group of diverse individuals participated in the community assessment process. Each
member’s perspective and representation in the Work Group and Coalition Meetings was critical to
ensuring that multiple segments of the community were represented (e.g. parents, school, public
health, seniors, etc.) In addition to Work Group and Coalition meeting participation, members did
additional independent research to highlight, understand and develop a “full picture” of the
community.

Summary of Needs and Resource Assessment Meetings
CPC focused on capturing a true snapshot of the Chimacum School District catchment area. This process
began with a review of Chimacum School District demographic data. The group then looked at the
results of the community survey, other community data, resources, service/program/resource gaps and
issues related to community readiness.
The CPC held 8 formal meetings surrounding community needs and resource assessments, gap analysis
and identification of evidence-based programs for the CPC Strategic Plan. Below are the 4 meeting that
dealt with needs assessment (For a list of all CPC meeting, Work Group meetings and Executive
Committee Meeting see Appendix C):
1. November 20, 2013, Work Group meeting.
Using the What’s Happening in Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data Book this
meeting focused on:
Introduction to reviewing community and school level data.
~ 22 ~
Understanding the data resources and how data was captured.
Overview of a variety of data sources for Chimacum, Jefferson County and the State to highlight
similarities and differences between the locales. Looking for data that the group feels
influences substance abuse and corresponding behaviors in the Chimacum community.
A beginning prioritization of the Chimacum risk and protective factors
2. December 11, 2014, CPC Meeting.
Using the What’s Happening in Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data Book and the
Chimacum Middle School 2012 Healthy Youth Survey, this meeting focused on:
Analyzing behavioral problems and risk & protective factor data for the purpose of prioritizing
2-4 risk and protective factors for Chimacum.
Please note: The CPWI Community Coordinators had discovered a discrepancy between the
two data sources and the Coalition members decided to delay the final prioritization of the
CPC risk and protective factors until the January 2014 Coalition meeting in order to give staff
the time to investigate the discrepancy in the data.
3. January 6, 2014, Executive Committee Meeting.
The Executive Committee and staff met to:
Discuss the discrepancy in the two data sources.
The decision was made to cancel the January 8, 2014 CPC meeting till January 29, 2014 to give
staff the time to clarify the issue with the data.
4. January 29, 2014, CPC Meeting.
CPWI Community Coordinators informed the group that the discrepancy between the two data
sources, What’s Happening in Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data Book and the
Chimacum Middle School 2012 Healthy Youth Survey is:
What’s Happening in Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data Book includes the data
for the PI School, the alternative school in the District, making the total number of 8th grade
respondents 83.
The Chimacum 2012 Healthy Youth Survey data included only 51 8th grade respondents, too low
a number and percentage to consider viable. The decision was made to use the data from the
Data Book.
Unique Challenges to the process for CPC
CPC experienced some unique challenges before and during the assessment process.
The DBHR What’s Happening in Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data Book, which
should have been sent in early October 2013, was not sent till November 28, 2013. The CPC
Assessment Work Group met on November 20, 2013 for the first review of the Data Book. Initially
there were concerns about the data and the number of participants. There was no 2012 HYS data
for 10th and 12th grades due to low participation. The group believes that the 8th grade data does not
give a comprehensive picture of the community. There were many questions about the data. The
Work Group requested the complete Chimacum Middle School 2012 HYS data to help answer some
of the questions.
CPC staff received the specific Chimacum Middle School 2012 HYS data the beginning of December
2013. In preparing for the December 11, 2013 CPC meeting CPC staff realized that the number of
8thgrade participants in the Chimacum Middle School 2012 HYS was different than the number of 8th
grade participants in the What’s Happening in Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data
Book. 83 – 8th grader participants were listed in the Data Book, and only 51 - 8th grade participants
were listed in the Chimacum Middle School 2012 HYS. This discrepancy only increased CPC’s concern
~ 23 ~
about the validity and accuracy of the data. The CPC again requested clarification about the data
and the numbers.
December 12, 2013 CPC staff contacted the DBHR staff for clarification about the Data Book and
also contacted the Public Health epidemiologist regarding the discrepancy between the Data Book
and the Chimacum Middle School 2012 HYS. All of this delayed the start of the assessment process
significantly.
CPC staff did not hear back from DBHR and the Public Health epidemiologist until January 2014.
DBHR explained that the What’s Happening in Chimacum? Data Book 8th grade participation
included the middle school alternative program, PI. The PI students increased the number of
participating students making the data valid in terms of numbers and percentages. The Chimacum
Middle School 2012 HYS did not include the PI students and was not valid in terms of numbers or
percentage.
Information from DBHR and the epidemiologist was presented to the Executive Committee in the
beginning of January. The CPC needed to proceed with the process using just the data in What’s
Happening in Chimacum? Data Book. The next CPC meeting had been scheduled for January 8,
2014. With the clarification of the data, the Executive Committee rescheduled the next CPC meeting
till January 29th to give the CPC staff time to prepare for the Risk and Protective Factor analysis and
the prioritizing process.
Again, the CPC members were disappointed in the level of student participation in the HYS, and
believe that the data does not match their own personal experience in working with Chimacum
youth and the community. Realizing that this is the only data the Coalition had to work with, CPC
proceeded with the assessment process.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT CONCLUSIONS
Overall Process to determine CPC’s conclusions:
At the Needs Assessment Work Group on November 20, 2013 the data from What’s Happening in
Chimacum? A Community Needs Assessment Data Book was reviewed by the group. The Work Group
had a major discussion about the fact that, while the Chimacum 8th grade current drinking rate is
similar or the same as the State (State 12%, Chim12%), it is still too high and does not work in favor of
healthy youth or community development. The Chimacum 8th grade consumptions rates for problem /
heavy drinking (State 8%, Chimacum 12%) and current marijuana use (State 9%, Chimacum 16%) are
much higher than the State.
In addition, at the full CPC meeting on December 11, 2013 there was a discussion about the following
the HYS weapons data. While the youth delinquency data of carrying a weapon on school property is
higher than the State and the mental health attempted suicides and considering suicide data is higher
~ 26 ~
than the State, CPC members made the decision to address the prioritized risk factors listed below and
not to address these issues at this beginning stage of CPC’s development because members do not
trust the data due to low numbers and their personal work experiences with Chimacum youth. Group
members decided to start with the areas of concern where they do trust the data and that they believe
the newly formed Coalition can have a successfully impacting the Strategic Plan at this time.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
CPC used the same process in the Needs Assessment for the 2015 – 2107 Revisions as it did for the Needs Assessment
that was done in the fall of 2013 / winter 2014.
On June 4, 2015 CPC received a corrected page for the What’s Happening in Chimacum, March 2015 that pertains to risk
and protective factors. These particular risk and protective factors are not ones that have been prioritized by the
Coalition, so this correction will not impact the current revisions to the Strategic Plan.
Data listed in black font is excerpted from the 2014 Strategic Plan. New data that has been reviewed by the Executive Committee
and the CPWI Coordinators for the 2015 – 2017 Revisions is indicated in red font. This data was presented at the full CPC meeting
on 4-8-15.
PLEASE NOTE: This year the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) introduced a new format with the 2014 HYS data.
For small counties like Jefferson County, DBHR combined the data from the 2014 Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) for grades 8, 10 and 12.
For small counties DBHR also added a comparison of our data to “School Districts Like Us” (SDLU).
Unfortunately, in our District this combining of the data from 3 grades gives us a distorted picture because the 8th grade in
Chimacum did not take the 2014 Healthy Youth Survey. This new formatting does not apply to the Arrest Rate data below (#4).
We have only listed the data from the Strategic Plan that the Executive Committee reviewed and prioritized.

REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
Results from the fall 2014 Community Survey were discussed by CPC Members. 40.1% of respondents were
parents and 57.9% were not parents. 38% reside in the Chimacum School District catchment area and 62%
reside outside the Chimacum School District area. Because the total number of respondents was only 176,
with the majority living outside the Chimacum School District area and were not parents. CPC members
decided to rely on data from the What’s Happening in Chimacum, March 2015 databook, data from the
~ 29 ~
Chimacum School-based Clinic and CPC members antidotal data for the 2015 2017 Revision Needs
Assessment. To increase participation in future Community Surveys, Chimacum Prevention Coalition requested
that the DBHR generated survey be available in August so that Coalition Members can distribute the survey
with all of the Chimacum School District’s back-to-school events. If this is not possible, CPC Members are
planning on distributing the survey at all Chimacum School District fall events, other established larger
Chimacum Community events and activities, as well as at community organization like the Food Bank.
In addition to the new data provided by DBHR, CPC members also reviewed the Chimacum School-based clinic
data for the last five years, and found that for all five years the number one reason that youth have used the
mental health services at the Chimacum School-based clinic has been “family problems.” This supports CPC’s
prioritizing Family Management as the top risk factor in our community
After reviewing the data in the What’s Happening in Chimacum, March 2015, Coalition Members do not have
confidence in the 2014 HYS data provided by the Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR). With the
2014 HYS data, DBHR introduced a new format in presenting the data. For small counties like Jefferson County,
DBHR combined the data from the 2014 Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) for grades 8, 10 and 12. Unfortunately, in
our District this combining of the data from 3 grades gives us a distorted picture because the Coalition knows
that the 8th grade in Chimacum did not take the 2014 Healthy Youth Survey. In addition, the data has not
significantly changed other than in an increase in marijuana use. Due to current funding issues and the need to
establish new relationships with the new Chimacum Superintendent, new Chimacum Middle School Principal
and the new Chimacum Elementary Principal, at this time CPC will address the increased marijuana use as a
part of its Public Awareness Campaign.
As a result of the Needs Assessment done for the 2015 – 2017 Revision, CPC has decide to continue with the
prioritized Risk and Protective Factors that were identified in the 2014 Strategic Plan, with Family Management
Problems being the first prioritized risk factor The Risk Factors are:
RISK FACTORS DOMAIN
1. Community Connectedness Community
2. Alcohol Availability Community
3. Favorable Attitudes /Low Perception of Harm Peer/Individual
4. Early Initiation of Drug Use Peer/Individual
5. Family Management Problems Family
RESOURCE ASSESSMENT DATA
PROCESS
To build the CPC capacity to complete a community resource assessment, the CPC membership
participated in a mini-training using the Communities that Care Resource Assessment process.
Emphasis was placed on:
collecting information on existing programs, policies & practices that directly address the
priority risk & protective factors chosen by the Coalition;
analyzing resources to identify tested effective programs; and
identifying gaps in resources.
~ 30 ~
CPC Members did the resource assessment process in the Chimacum community and then reported
back to the Coalition. Below are the 2 meetings that dealt with the resource assessment:
1. February 12, 2014, CPC Meeting. This meeting focused on:
Discussion about the community resources assessment process.
Assigning Coalition members to specific community resources to collect data.
Mini-training on evidence-based programs and the difference between an emerging
program, promising program and an evidence-based program.
2. March 12, 2014, CPC Meeting. This meeting focused on:
Reviewing the completed community resource assessment.
Identifying gaps in services.
Review and discussion about evidence-based parenting programs.
CPC members who collected that community resource data are:
Barb Fogerson Chimacum School District
Ciela Meyer Chimacum School District
Guin Joyce Chimacum School District
Johnny Colden Jefferson County Juvenile Services
Julie Canterbury Parent and Jefferson Mental Health
Kelli Greenspane Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department
Marci Van Cleve Chimacum School District
Sue Hay WSU, 4-H
Whitney Meissner Chimacum School District
These CPC members completed the following tasks:
Identified 65+community resources that directly work with Chimacum youth and families
Identified the community resources that affect the prioritized risk / protective factors
Collected sufficient information about the resource to determine if the resource addresses the
priority risk / protective factor, if it is a tested effective program, the target audience addressed
evaluation results, etc.
CPC members collected information about 65+ programs and services that serve youth and families in
the Chimacum area. CPC will explore ways to make this list available to the larger community .
The chart below lists the programs and services that directly address CPC’s prioritized risk and

SUMMARY OF KEY RESOURCE ASSESSMENT DATA
CPC members determined that the following resources being provided in the Chimacum area are also
supporting the priority Risk and Protective Factors identified in their Needs Assessment:
The 4-H Program, the YMCA, Boys Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Teen Center, Community Boat
Building, the faith-based community, after-school sports programs, and the Chimacum School
District. These organizations/agencies are providing a rich range of activities and events that
give Chimacum youth the opportunities for prosocial involvement with peers, adults and the
community.
The School-based clinic at CHS provides very accessible mental health and physical health
services.
While starting later in the 2013 – 2014 school year, Project Success that is facilitated by the
OESD 114 Prevention / Intervention Specialist in CHS has provided and will continue to provide
an evidence-based prevention program for 9th grades, and evidence-based interventions for CHS
indicated and selective youth.
Protecting You /Protecting Me, and evidence-based prevention program, has been provided for
7 years and will continue to be provided to 5th graders in Chimacum Elementary School by
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
RESOURCES ASSESSMENT CONCLUSIONS
After reviewing the needs assessment and resources assessment CPC has determined that:
Parenting Classes: There are no parenting / educational programs available in Chimacum
covering the birth to 12th grade age range. Programs, sometimes offered, usually have a high
out-of-pocket cost or are cancelled due to lack of participation. Some programs offered in the
past, like Love & Logic, are not considered best practice programs.
Prevention Programs: While Chimacum is fortunate to have some evidence-based prevention
resources available, these few programs do not adequately cover the K-12 continuum. Other
evidence-based prevention programs that have been offered in the past, like Project Alert,
were discontinued due to funding and staff availability issues.
Local Approach: The community often takes a “think local” approach and creates
programs/policies to address an immediate need, but the focus has not been on evidence-
based programs and services. Future efforts will work to focus on evidence-based programs.
Geographic restrictions: Chimacum is an unincorporated community on the Olympic Peninsula.
The entire population of Jefferson County is just over 30,000 people. Chimacum is dependent
on a floating bridge connecting the Olympic Peninsula to the Kitsap Peninsula and ferry
transportation connecting to Whidbey Island. There is an option to drive around Puget Sound,
~ 33 ~
but the trip is long and can be quite cumbersome on a two-lane, curvy highway. There is a high
cost to bring trainers and facilitators to Chimacum just in travel alone. The closest large airport
is more than 2 ½ hours away.
Funding limitations: This is by far the largest gap in Chimacum and Jefferson County. As
federal, state and county dollars continue to dwindle, programs and services are being
eliminated. With a limited population, individual or corporate contributions and non-profit
funding is minimal at best. As well, public funding opportunities (grants) are often switching
away from funding direct services and shifting to more environmental strategies (e.g. Drug Free
Communities Grant).
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
At the 3-11-15 CPC meeting Coalition Members were given the 2014 Community Resource Assessment
developed by CPC and asked to update this list. At the 4-8-15 CPC meeting members added three new
resources:
1. the HOPE (Health Outreach Peer Education) Club at CHS;
2. the implementation of the Peace for Kids curriculum (not evidence-based) in the Primary
and Elementary schools; and
3. the implementation by CPC and community partners of the Strengthening Families
Program.
This means that the one new resources in the community to address a Coalition prioritized risk and
protective factors is the CPC sponsored SFP.
CULTURALLY COMPETENCY IN ASSESSMENT
For the needs assessment CPC primarily relied on data already collected, such as the data provided in
the What’s Happening in Chimacum and the Health of Jefferson County. In facilitating the Community
Survey CPC members made a concerted effort to reach community members from the many different
geographic locations in the Chimacum School District catchment area, but realized that significant
sections of the community were not surveyed. Coalition members have begun to strategize how
home-school and alternative school parents, low-income families with limited access to computers,
transportation and/or involvement in community events and activities can be reached in the fall of
2014.
SUSTAINABILITY IN ASSESSMENT
CPC members who conducted the Resource Assessment portion of the assessment conducted with 65+
community organizations, clubs and agencies on a one-on-one basis. In this process CPC members
were able to start a conversation about the vision, mission and work of the CPC. These conversations
have and will continue with these community partners.

PLAN FOR ACTION
PROCESS FOR PLANNING
The following Executive Committee Meeting and the CPC Meeting that focused on the planning process were:
1. March 26, 2014 Executive Committee Meeting. This meeting focused on:
Setting an agenda for the April 9, 2014 CPC meeting with Action Steps to decide on the direct
service parenting program, public awareness campaign, and the environmental strategy for the
Strategic Plan.
Organizing the Key Leader / Town Hall Meeting on May 22, 2014.
2. April 9, 2014, CPC Meeting. This meeting focused on reviewing 3 proposed evidence-based programs, 3
Public Awareness Campaigns and 3 Environmental Strategies. The group chose the following:
i. Evidence-Based Program - Strengthening Families
ii. Public Awareness Campaign - Series of presentations/discussions for the community on topics
related to alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and other drug use
iii. Environmental Strategies Proposal - Community/Adult Social Norm Campaign
The determination of the prioritized risk and protective factors were voted on by the CPC members present at
the April 9, 2014 Coalition meeting. The specific goals and objectives for the risk factors were determined by
the CPC Executive Committee and CPWI Community Coordinators.
GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The CPWI Community Coordinators, working with the CPC Executive Committee, identified to following goals
and objectives that relate to the identified Chimacum intervening variables (Risk and Protective Factors) and

Program
Below is a list of the strategies that CPC selected to address the goals and objectives listed above. The
intervening variable and local condition are listed above the strategy to demonstrate how the strategy
selected relates to the information identified in the needs assessment.
GOAL 1: Increase feelings of community connectedness to address substance abuse issues facing youth,
families, in the Chimacum School District catchment area.
OBJECTIVE 1.1: Increase in participation and input by Chimacum youth and parents in all aspect of the
work of CPC.
Intervening Variable: Community Disorganization /Community Connectedness
Local Conditions: Lack of input from youth and parents in development of solutions to substance
abuse problems facing youth in Chimacum Community
Strategy: Community Based Process
Activities: Create a Community Coalition to address substance abuse issues in …..
Recruitment Work Group will work with the Executive Committee and the CPWI community
Coordinators to develop an outreach campaign to increase participation by Chimacum youth and
parents on and in CPC Meetings, work groups and activities.
Using future Coalition Assessments, Community Surveys and HYS, CPC will determine if expected
outcomes have been met and determine if current efforts should be maintained, refined and/or if
alternative ways to address the issue of community connectedness to address substance abuse
issues in the community should be explored.
GOAL 2: Decrease the risk associates with the community’s availability of alcohol, marijuana and other
drugs.
OBJECTIVE 2.1: Increase parents and community members’ accurate awareness of youth consumption rates
and accurate adult attitudes toward youth alcohol, marijuana and other drug use.
Intervening Variable: Availability of alcohol, marijuana and other drugs
Local Conditions:
1) In 2008 there was a drop in all youth arrests in the Chimacum area. Since 2008 the arrests in
Chimacum are lower in comparison to the nearby city of Port Townsend. The Jefferson County
Sheriff’s Department believes that this drop in arrests is related to parents providing alcohol,
marijuana and/or other drugs to youth in their homes.
2) In the 2013 Community Survey, of adults surveyed 38.69% (combination of “Yes” and “Yes, but only
on special occasions”) state that it is okay for parents to offer their teenage children alcohol in their
homes and 59.7% (combination of “Yes” and “Yes, but only on special occasions”) stated they think
most adults feel it is okay for parents to offer their teenage children alcohol in their homes.
~ 36 ~
3) Jefferson County had a 65.23% passage of Initiative 502. It is the second highest county to pass the
Initiative.
Strategy: Information Dissemination
Activities: Adult Social Norms Campaign
Community/ Adult Social Norms Campaign to be conducted by CPC members as a part of the
Community Assessment process in the fall of 2014. Results to be share with the community using a
variety of methods (presentation of social norms results, distribution at community events, flyers,
postcards mailed to parents, etc.).
Using future Coalition Assessments, Community Surveys, HYS and pre and post surveys to
community presentations, CPC will determine if expected outcomes have been met and determine
if current efforts should be maintained, refined and/or if alternative ways to address the issue of
alcohol, marijuana and other drug availability should be explored.
GOAL 3: Decrease the risk associated with favorable attitudes toward the problem behavior.
OBJECTIVE 3.1: Increase the perception of harm of alcohol, marijuana and other drug use by youth.
Intervening Variable: Favorable attitudes toward problem behaviors
Local Conditions: The Chimacum High School Counselor and the Chimacum Prevention
/Interventionist report that youth state that “Families and peers are all using”; “Alcohol, marijuana
and other drugs are everywhere;” and that “To not use is to be left out.”
Strategy: Information Dissemination
Activities: Public Awareness Campaign
CPWI Community Coordinators are working on the following presentations for the 2014-2015
school year:
1. Neurological impact of alcohol, marijuana and other drug use on the developing teenage
brain; and
2. Social and legal implications of youth alcohol, marijuana and other drug use on youth,
families and the community.
CPC members are currently collecting input from the community about other topics related to
alcohol, marijuana and other drug use to present to the community.
CPC Executive Committee and CPWI staff will further develop the other topics to be presented to
the community, and CPWI staff, the Public Relations and Implementation Work Groups will
facilitate the presentations in terms of where, when and who will present.
Using future Coalition Assessments, Community Surveys, HYS and pre and post surveys to
community presentations, CPC will determine if expected outcomes have been met and
determine if current efforts should be maintained, refined and/or if alternative ways to address
the issue of alcohol, marijuana and other drug availability should be explored.
~ 37 ~
GOAL 4: Decrease the risk associated with early initiation of problem behaviors.
OBJECTIVE 4.1: Prevent or delay the initiation of problem behaviors.
Intervening Variable: Early initiation of problem behavior
Local Conditions: In the 2012 HYS Chimacum 8th grade students scored higher than the State in early
initiation of problem behaviors (Chim – 41%, State 32%)
Strategy: Education
Activities: Protecting You / Protecting Me
Facilitation of Protecting You/Protecting Me by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department staff of in
the 5th grade classes at Chimacum Elementary Please note: NREPP reports that 5th grade students
who received the adult-led PY/PM classes showed statistically significant increase in negative
attitudes toward underage alcohol use, (p= .02), and increase in the perception of harm of
alcohol use (p < .01).
Using future HYS and developer’s pre and post tests, CPC will determine if expected outcomes
have been met and determine if current efforts should be maintained, refined and/or if alternative
ways to address the issue of alcohol, marijuana and other drug availability should be explored.
Goal 5: Decrease the risk associated with family management problems.
Objective 5.1: Increase knowledge and use of family management skills (including monitoring, discipline,
consequences, limit setting, control and managing anger) family communication.
Intervening Variable: Family management problems
Local Conditions: : In the community assessment the largest gap in services was that there are no
parenting classes or support groups that happen in the Chimacum School District catchment area.
Also, while the “Family Management Problems ” HYS 8th grade data for families in the Chimacum
School District catchment area is lower than the State rate (Chim – 27%, State 34%), CPC members
who work with families and youth in Chimacum strongly believe this data does not accurately reflect
their experience. They believe that families are under a tremendous amount of stress due to
economic factors (unemployment: Jeff. Co. – 8.4%, State – 6.5%; median household income: Jeff. Co. -
$46,651, State - $56,444; children living in poverty: Jeff. Co. - 20.8%, State – 16.8%), limited public
transportation and isolated, rural community. In addition the CPC members believe that even 27% of
families is too high a rate for nurturing and developing healthy youth. Because research shows that
family management problems is predictive of underage drinking and drug use, as well as other
problem behaviors, the CPC believes that addressing this by universally implementing an evidence-
based parenting program will decrease youth’s alcohol and other substance use.
Strategy: Education
Activities: Strengthening Families Programs (SFP)
Jefferson County WSU 4-H Program and CPWI Community Coordinators have organized a training
for 4-H staff and volunteers on August 25th, 26th and 27th. WSU 4-H Program, CPWI Community
Coordinators and the Implementation Work Group will explore a centrally located facility for the
family sessions and ways to provide the Strengthening Families incentives through local businesses
and churches. CPWI Community Coordinators are exploring resources to support the program. Two
series of the SFP program are being scheduled. One will be in the fall of 2014 and the second series
will be in the winter/spring of 2015.
CPC will explore ways to provide Strengthening Families Program to greater numbers of parents and
to parents with youth in private, alternative and home-schooling programs.
Using future Community Surveys, HYS and the pre and post test for SFP, CPC will determine if
expected outcomes have been met and determine if current efforts should be maintained and/or if
alternative ways to address the issue of family management problems should be explored.

REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
After reviewing new data, updating the Community Resources Assessment list, doing a gap analysis, CPC
members decided to implement the following strategies for the 2015-2016 school year:
DIRECT SERVICE FOR 2015-2016 (no change): CPC Members decided to continue with SFP as the direct
service strategy because it addresses the first prioritized risk factor, Family Management Problems, and
because the implementation of this program has just been introduced to the community and needs to have
time to further develop. In addition, because SFP requires a high level of work to implement, Coalition
Members have decided to research other evidence-based parenting programs for the community that would
not require the same level of work to implement and that could potentially provide services to a larger
number of families.
PUBLIC AWARENESS FOR 2015-2016 (no change in program, but strategy is associated with a different
prioritized risk factor): CPC members decided to continue with a Public Awareness Campaign of 3 to 4
presentation on topics related to underage drinking and drugging issues because these presentations have
been very well attended in the 2014-2015 school year and continues to address the following prioritized risk
factors:
-Availability of alcohol, marijuana and other drugs, and
-Favorable attitude toward problem behavior and lack of perception of harm.
ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY FOR 2015-2016 (change and strategy is associated with a different risk factor): In
the 2014-2015 school year CPC amended its Environmental Strategy from an adult social norm campaign to
the Community Assessment of Neighborhood School (CANS) that was implemented by CPC Members and
Chimacum High School students working with the P/I and students from the H.O.P.E Club. At the 4-1-15 CPC
meeting there was a discussion about continuing this environmental strategy in the next year. However,
because of the increase in local marijuana use and the increase in access to and use of vaping devices,
Members decided to adopt an environmental strategy for the next year what will review school policies with
the Chimacum School District in terms of cigarette use, vaping devices, alcohol, marijuana and other drug
policies. This change in the Environmental Strategy will now be addressing a different, but still prioritized risk
factor - Early initiation of problem behaviors.
OTHER GOALS:
New Chimacum School District (CSD) Staff – There will be a new CSD Superintendent, a new Principal for the
Chimacum Middle School (CMS) and Chimacum Elementary School (CES). The Coalition will work to establish
a positive, working relationship with these new staff members with the ultimate goal of having these staff
members join the Coalition.
CMS and CES Prevention Programs – Currently CES has had the evidence- based Protecting You/Protecting
Me prevention program implemented in the 5th grade since 2007 by the Jeff. Co Sheriff’s Dept. Currently with
funding issues, the Jeff. Co. Sheriff’s Dept. has asked CPC for possible support of the implementation of this
prevention programs. CPC members and CPWI staff are exploring possible ways the Coalition can help
support the continuation of this evidence-based program.
Working with the new Principals for the CES and CMS, CPC will research possible evidence-based prevention
programs that could be added in at CES and CMS.
Funding – CPC Members and staff will continue to research any additional private and/or public funding to
further the work of CPC. Members will particularly focus its research on funding for mental health issues,
such as the Youth Mental Health First Aid grant that has been awarded to CPC.

CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN PLAN
The cultural competence strategies used by CPC in the planning process have been and will continue to be:
CPC membership includes representatives from 8 of 12 community sectors: Parent, Youth-serving
organization, School District staff, law enforcement, treatment provider, mental health provider, business,
and County government. Please see page 10 and 11 for a chart of the primary sector representatives.
In reviewing the demographic data for the CSD catchment area, CPC members determined that race,
ethnicity, religion and age represent small diversity issues in the community, while socioeconomic status
and geography create the primary diversity issues in the community. CPC members discussed at length
the different needs, values, and ways to engage and involve the people from the different socioeconomic
groups and geographical locations in Coalition membership. These discussions also included ways to
engage and involve people from the different groups in participating in the strategies to be offered from
the Strategic Plan. While race, ethnicity, religion and age represent small diversity issues in the
community, CPC members also discussed ways to appropriately engage people from all races, ethnicity,
religions and age groups in Coalition membership and in participation in the strategies to be offered in the
community. It is the intention of CPC members and CPWI Community Coordinator(s) to continue to
recruit new Coalition members, particularly in the summer of 2014. Recruitment will emphasize creating
greater diversity in CPC.
CPC discussions have also included way to balance the allocation of resources to provide programs and
services to youth/families from all of the diverse elements in the community; and access to those
programs and services, including financial hardship, transportation barriers and actual availability of
services/programs that are population-based.
Formal (pre and post test, Community Survey results, Chimacum HYS data) and informal feedback from
individuals in the community will be used to revise and refine CPC’s efforts in this area.
SUSTAINABILITY IN THE PLAN
CPC members are committed to overseeing the implementation of the strategies in the Plan and thoroughly
analyzing the data in the evaluation process to determine the effectiveness of these strategies in meeting CPC’s
expected outcomes. The hands-on participation in the implementation process and the analysis of the evaluation
data will provide significant direction in ongoing plans to address the work and efforts of CPC.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
REVISION TO CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN PLAN (CHANGES INDICATED IN RED FONT)
The cultural competence strategies used by CPC in the planning process have been and will continue to be:
-CPC membership includes representatives from 10 of 12 community sectors: Parent, youth-serving organization, school
district staff, healthcare provider, law enforcement, treatment provider, mental health provider, business, faith-based
organization and County government. Please see page 15 for a chart of the primary sector representatives.
-In reviewing the demographic data for the CSD catchment area, CPC members determined that race, ethnicity, religion and

Coordinator(s) to continue to recruit new Coalition members, particularly in the summer of 2015. Recruitment will emphasize
creating greater diversity in CPC. CPC has experienced the biggest gains in our recruitment efforts through one-on-one
meetings between Coalition Members and other community members and through the appeal of the topics presented in the
~ 52 ~
Public Awareness events. Consequently the focus for recruitment will be one-on-one meeting and promotion of the Public
Awareness events that are currently being planned for the 2015-2016 school year.
-CPC discussions have also included way to balance the allocation of resources to provide programs and services to
youth/families from all of the diverse elements in the community; and access to those programs and services, including
financial hardship, transportation barriers and actual availability of services/programs that are population-based. In the
delivery of the Strengthening Families Program, CPC is providing meals and childcare to facilitate a greater participation among
families with a higher need. CPC members will work on developing other incentives, such as gas cards, from the Chimacum
community. In addition, in an effort to reach more diverse families with an evidence-base parenting program, CPC is exploring
another parenting program that can be implemented in addition to the SFP that will be implemented.
-Formal (pre and post test, Community Survey results, Chimacum HYS data) and informal feedback from individuals in the
community will be used to revise and refine CPC’s efforts in this area.

IMPLEMENTATION
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT FOR IMPLEMENTATION
To successfully implement the strategies in the CPC Plan, CPC members will need to:
Continue participation in ongoing Coalition meeting, trainings and scheduled events,
Continue active recruitment of new Coalition members with a sensitivity to creating more diversity in
the Coalition,
With the leadership from the Implementation and Sustainability Work Group, resources to support
implementation of the Plan will be explored. This will include facilitator/presenters for the different
strategies, centrally located facilities for the different CPC programs, presentations, events and
training, etc.,
With current funding resources being limited, the Sustainability Work Group will have a major and
critical focus on developing additional funding sources,
Collaboration and cooperation with other community groups will be required. CPC has brought many
community groups and members with a strong commitment to the health and well-being of children
and families, but many more committed community members need to be recruited. There is a
common understanding that ALL need to work together to provide adequate supports in the
Chimacum community. Previous significant partnerships are being made stronger (e.g. Chimacum
School District, Jefferson County Public Health, OESD 114, youth-serving organizations, etc.) while new
partnerships need to be forged (e.g. Jefferson County Substance Abuse Advisory Board, Jefferson
County Public Library, Jefferson Healthcare, other healthcare providers, and the business community),
Individuals who work for media or have jobs that interact with media (business PR staff) will be
actively sought for Coalition membership,
The Public Relations Work Group will use a variety of ways to promote CPC programs, trainings,
presentations and events such as press releases to formal media outlets and other community groups
such as the faith-based community, flyers, postcards, presentation to other community partners and
groups, etc.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
CPC has a wide representation of the Chimacum community represented on the Coalition. Consequently, CPC
has been able to effectively partner with:
the Jefferson County 4-H Program and a local Church community in the delivery of the direct service
Strengthening Families Program. With DBHR funds, CPC paid for the training of SFP facilitators and the
SFP curriculum. With the facilitators being JC 4-H Volunteers, insurance was covered by 4-H. With a
small stipend from DBHR funds, a small stipend was provide for the use of the Irondale Church for the
location of the SFP sessions, and for the services of a church member to function as the site manager,
making sure that the facility was appropriate prepared for each session and meals were provided to
families,

In terms of the CHS Prevention Club and the work of the Prevention/Intervention Specialists, CPC Members
have committed to assisting the Club and the Specialist in soliciting prizes/incentives from the community
for the Clubs campaigns and activities in the 2015 – 2106 school year.
CPC will continue to partner with these community groups and organizations, as well as explore new
partnerships with other community groups and organizations.
BUDGET
Funding Resources:
Currently the primary funding sources for strategies in the Plan are and will be DBHR funds. Currently
the SAPT funding provides for the work of a .5 CPWI Community Coordinator. Currently PFS funding
provides increased hours for the work of the Community Coordinators (Please note that this work is
being shared by two CPWI Community Coordinators). Plans for the PSF budget as of July 1, 2014 will
be amended to include direct service hours for SFP, support for CPC’s Public Awareness Campaigns
(such as printing, etc.), and increases in community coordination hours.
Funding from other community partners will be used when appropriate. For example, the OESD 114
will be providing funding for the Presenter for the Key Leader / Town Hall Meeting planned for May
27, 2014,
Other resources will be used when appropriate. For example, the Town Hall Meeting stipend will be
used to promote the Key Leader / Town Hall Meeting.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT

example CPC is currently partnering with 4-H in the implementation of Strengthening Families Program with 4-
H volunteers facilitating the SFP sessions, and insurance for the program is covered b 4-H, and CPC Members
and staff will continue to research any additional private and/or public funding to further the work of CPC.
Members will particularly focus its research on funding for mental health issues, such as the Youth Mental
Health First Aid grant that has been awarded to CPC.
~ 57 ~
CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN IMPLEMENTATION
CPC members will strategize ways to communicate the Vision and Mission Statements of the Coalition and to
engage and involve participation in the Coalition membership and in the Coalition’s programs, trainings,
presentations and events to the different groups created by socioeconomic status and geography, as well as
communities of various race, ethnicity, religion and age. Continued efforts in this area will be determined by
formal (pre and post test, Community Survey results, Chimacum HYS data) and informal feedback from
individuals in the community to revise and refine CPC’s efforts in this area.

strategies, activities and programs. For recurring services programs entered into PBPS, pre-and post-surveys
will be gathered and inputted in the PBPS. PBPS reports will be reviewed by the CPC and CPWI Community
Coordinator(s) to track the progress and success of the prevention programs as well as provide a feedback
mechanism to discuss whether any program modifications are needed.
The CPWI Community Coordinators will continue to report on community prevention activities and
networking, the allocation of DBHR funds and the attendance at CPC Board Meeting, Work Groups and CPC
sponsored activities in PBPS.
Data collected by the Prevention / Intervention Specialist facilitating Project Success will be done through
OESD 114 and shared with the CPC.
CPC’s Vision Statement is “Healthy Kids, Healthy Families.” All CPC members have a strong commitment to
making this Vision Statement a reality. Being a new Coalition, CPC has developed a straight-forward, doable
Strategic Plan to ensure success. This Plan has been designed to address programs for parents, youth, and the
larger Chimacum Community. Based on the success of this current Strategic Plan, CPC will grow the programs,
services, and activities in future Strategic Plans. The CPWI Community Coordinator(s) will follow through on
all contract requirements.
CULTURAL COMPETENCY IN REPORTING AND EVALUATION
In the 2013 Community Survey CPC used the survey provided by DBHR. After receiving the results, CPC had a
discussion about writing its own survey in order to ask questions that would be more relevant and sensitive to
the different communities within the larger Chimacum community. In the beginning stages of planning a
community Social Norms Campaign, CPC members have already begun to think of survey questions that will
be relevant and sensitive to the different communities. For both the Community Survey and the Social Norms
~ 61 ~
Campaign, CPC has begun to plan a variety of ways to survey community members in their own
neighborhoods to address the challenges that come with limited transportation options and from strong
individual and family identification with their local neighborhoods.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
To increase participation in the Community Survey, Chimacum Prevention Coalition requested that the DBHR
generated survey be available in August so that Coalition Members can distribute the survey with all of the
Chimacum School District’s back-to-school events. If this is not possible, CPC Members are planning on
distributing the survey at all Chimacum School District fall events, other established larger Chimacum
Community events and activities, as well as at community organization like the Food Bank.
For the evidence-based programs that CPC will be implementing and supporting, the pre / post tests to be
used will be the ones designed by the program developers.
SUSTAINABILITY IN REPORTING AND EVALUATION
The Chimacum HYS data that CPC used to develop this Strategic Plan was limited to only 8th grade data due to
low participation rates for the 10th and 12th grades. CPC has recognized the limitation that this created at the
most fundamental stage of planning. CPC is committed to working in collaboration with the CSD
administrators and staff to ensure greater participation in future HYS. On CPC are one CSD Administrator and
one CHS teacher, one CHS counselor and the CHS Prevention / Intervention Specialist, who have all
volunteered to do what they can in their school positions to ensure that all efforts will be made to increase the
participation at all grade levels in future HYS.
In terms of pre / post tests and the Coalition Assessment tool, CPWI Community Coordinator(s) are committed
to accessing the developer pre/post tests and the PBPS online Coalition Assessment tool in a timely manner.
As mentioned above. CPC members are already in beginning stages of developing Community Survey
questions that are specifically relevant and sensitive to the different communities in the larger Chimacum
community, as well as developing ways to conduct the Community Survey in the different neighborhoods.
REVISION 2015 – 2017 STATEMENT
In terms of the 2014 HYS, 10th and 12th graders participated in the survey, but there was no 8th grade
participation. This makes the data in the new combined 8th/10th/12th grade format for the Chimacum 2014
HYS questionable. This next school year there will be significant Chimacum School District administrative staff
changes. There will be a new CSD Superintendent, a new Principal for the Chimacum Middle School (CMS) and
Chimacum Elementary School (CES). The Coalition will work to establish a positive, working relationship with
these new staff members with the ultimate goal of having these staff members join the Coalition. With a
stronger working relationship with the new administrative staff CPC will work with Chimacum School District to
ensure greater participation in the 2016 HYS.
