happens to one of them, and who would be the chaperones. High school kids to <br />possibly help out and earn community service hours. Julia felt that a number of <br />high school students would be interested in this opportunity. Elaine also <br />mentioned that Boston kids need have equal access. Possibly merchants and <br />parents can contribute to food, drink, et cetera. <br />We further spoke about the idea of a Youth Services Network. Thoughts were <br />exchanged through use of the forum sub - committee. Elaine drafted a letter and <br />questionnaire form to go out to community private mental health practitioners and <br />the date reserved at the library is 1/26/05 at 7:30pm. I also booked a back up, <br />2/2/05 at 7:30pm, thanks to Bob's mindful request due to possible inclimate <br />weather. Bill B., Elaine, and Beth spoke about the network being a team that <br />works to coordinate, connect, and provide services with the hope that there will <br />be consistency, on -going collaboration. An opportunity to provide, share, and <br />exchange information pertinent to youth and community. <br />Bill B. addressed the issue of quality control of therapists offering services saying <br />therapists need to be made aware that it will be a limited group, possibly the kids <br />interview the therapists. Jennifer mentioned the idea of supervision or <br />observation. Bill K. suggested having the clinical network grapple with this issue <br />during our forum meeting and make it part of the questionnaire. <br />The last issue quickly identified were recent issues around confidentiality of <br />students, families between my position, the police and school departments. <br />How can we work to exchange information, not crossing the boundaries, and <br />threatening confidentiality of those we are trying to help are the questions <br />currently being addressed? <br />Mark your calendars our next meeting is Tuesday December 14, 2004 Room <br />217 at 2:30pm and our January meeting has been scheduled for the 11 "!! <br />Please let me know if you are unable to attend. <br />Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm, committment and support. Happy <br />Thanksgiving and safe travels. - -Becky <br />
