Previous Business:
Race for Recovery: Dan gave the wrap-up report, the written copy of which is attached. We did have AMR present for the race. That was one of the expenses. Fortunately, none of the racers need AMR’s assistance.
Fall Festival Booth Committee will meet next on September 20, 2021, after the Executive Committee meets at noon.
New Business:
Community Resource Fair: This Fair is co-sponsored by Smoke Free Evansville. It is Saturday, October 18, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Set up begins at 9:00. SAC will have a booth at the Fair, similar to what we did at National Night Out. Members can stop by at any time to help with the booth.
Wally Paynter questioned about progress on a hybrid meeting. Dan indicated he did not pursue when the executive committee voted to make this meeting virtual, and the next meeting is not until November 1.
Presentations:
NOW Counseling: Shay Wood presented for the treatment provider and outlined their various services. The SAFE Now program received an SAC grant that enables them to provide telehealth services for persons with Substance Use Disorder.
Beacon Recovery: Jackie Hughes present for the treatment provider. Beacon is part of ECHO Health at 401 John Street. They offer SUD treatment, including Vivitrol with outpatient counseling. A psychiatrist and a psychiatric nurse practitioner are also on staff for patients. They received a treatment grant from SAC that funds treatment materials for patients who cannot afford them.
SAC SMART goals: Dan gave a powerpoint presentation on the SAC problem statements and SMART goals in the current Comprehensive Community Plan. He pointed out that they need to be revised. Specifically, some need to be re-worded, some need to be real SMART goals, and the total number needs to be reduced. To do that, we need to gather data, and individual members need to be gathering data from grants and their own areas of expertise in dealing with substance abuse.
Announcements: There were no agency announcements
