Chimacum Prevention Coalition (CPC) Activities
The Chimacum Prevention Coalition (CPC), Jefferson County Public Health and
OESD114 sponsored a second Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training on
Monday, October 19, 2015. This 8 hour training was full and the feedback was again
excellent. Julia Danskin and Kelly Matlock will be investigating whether or not there is
more local interest in this training. If there is, there may be a third YMHFA training. More
information will be shared if and when a third training develops.
CPC will be sponsoring Parenting Wisely, an evidence-based online parenting
class. SAAB will be informed as more develops with this new program.
The winter series for Strengthening Families sessions will go from Thursday, February 4
to March 17, 2016. Interested parties should contact Tanya Barnett at Jefferson County

CPC’s winter Public Awareness campaign will be
1. Jerry Blackburn on Monday, January 11, 6 – 8 PM, on Understanding the
Physiological/Developmental Impact of Marijuana Use: A Navigational Guidebook for
Parents. The recent legalization of marijuana for adult retail sales and the varying
perceptions on medical use will undoubtedly have a signification impact on youth access
and consumption. Together let’s explore the impact marijuana use has on both the
cognitive and physiological development of our young people, consider signs of concern
and discuss effective strategies for increasing protective factors and reducing those
factors that put kids at risk for use.
2. Monica Olsson on Monday, March 7, 6 – 8 PM on Second Hand Hangover.
Monica was one of three high school girls who made a short film about coming from a
chemically addicted family. She presents the film, Second Hand Hangover, and she talks
about the protective factors that helped her lead a very successful and productive live
without alcohol or drugs.
3. Youth and Adult Panel Presentation on Monday, May 2, 6 – 8 PM. Youth and
adults who will be attending the National Prevention Network from November 16th
through 19th will be discussing the conference and any prevention activities or strategies
that have been implemented as a result of the conference.
All SAAB members are invited to attend the next Chimacum Prevention Coalition
meeting. The specifics are:
When: Wednesday, December 9, 2015

Where: The Chimacum High School Library.
Public Health Julia
County Drug & Alcohol Coordinator Ford
Ford reported that Safe Harbor Recovery Center will not be merging with Jefferson
Mental Health Services (JMHS) at this time. Erroneous information had been received
about the need to merge and Ford stated that a review will continue of the Washington
Administrative Codes (WAC’s) and if it is determined that a merger is necessary talks will
resume. Both Ford and Adam expressed the intention of Safe Harbor and Jefferson
Mental Health to continue to work collaboratively just as they have been doing to provide
services to Jefferson County residents.
A Drug Court graduation is scheduled for December 3rd, 2016 at 8:30 am in the Superior
Courtroom.
Believe in Recovery Vince
Vince reported Believe in Recovery will be having their first Victim Impact Panel on
January 27th, 2016 from 7:00-9:00 pm. Cost to participate is $35.00 per person. Believe
in Recovery is also offering Alcohol Drug Information School (ADIS). Cost for ADIS is
$100.00 per person.
Mental Health Adam
Adam reported he is having discussions with Charles Schaar of Avail Health about
utilizing the KeyNotes patient records system. He is also checking out the EPIC system
to see which system will better serve the needs of Jefferson Mental Health Services.
JMHS is currently seeking to add on to their per diem on call list.
VI. BHO Advisory Recruitment
Adam reports that the applications for the BHO Advisory Committee have been reviewed
and recommendations have been made to the Executive Committee.

VII. New Business
Mike Evans inquired into the feasibility of new officers getting to spend time with Safe
Harbor and JMHS to get educated on dealing with people with Mental Health and
Substance Abuse issues. He felt this would be valuable training for new officers to have
prior to having to interact with community members in their roles as police officers. Both
Ford and Adam agreed this was a good idea and both agencies could accommodate this
request.
Adjourn: 4:30 pm
Next Meeting: December 8th, 2015
