-Coalition looking to gel plans for next year.Three themes they are looking to address. Want to <br /> expand their role beyond primarily a suicide prevention and intervention to include all age <br /> groups,want to take a look and define best practices and define their role for the coming year. <br /> -Coalition have been offering welcome coffee meet ups which provides visibility for them and <br /> provide a point of entry to the town-what's available and where to access it. <br /> Regarding mental health services. Current feeling is that before suggesting what to do regarding mental <br /> health services that the town needs to identify the need and what is being done currently.After, the <br /> next phase would be to find out what other towns are doing and should Lexington adapt any of their <br /> ideas/programs/services. <br /> Presentation of the Interface program which collects and categorizes a wide range resources related to <br /> mental health and wellness for the benefit of the general public — children, adults and families — as <br /> well as educators and mental health professionals. Information provided on other town's experience <br /> with the service. Seems over all positive. Some concerns regarding sustainability, being a referral service <br /> only, how many users, and cost$14k a year for a two year minimum. <br /> Assignment of towns to research and find out what they are providing in terms of mental health <br /> services, if any for presentation at the next meeting. Plan to gather information on budget, staffing, <br /> population served etc. <br /> 8:45 pm meeting called to a close. <br /> Next meeting 12/20/2017 @ 7 PM, Lexington Community Center Room 221 <br />
