\nSubject: Georgia Crisis Response system\n

\nJohn, There was a Conversations that Matter group held here June 9th to\ndiscuss the changes coming with the closing of the state hospitals as\nit relates to persons with developmental disabilities. We had about 40\nlocal people who were consumers, family members and some service\nproviders in addition to officials from the Region 4 office that covers\nthis area. The services for them will be drastically smaller than those\nplanned for persons with a diagnosis of mental illness, but this\ntraining announcement has one session left in this area…June 28 in\n\nThomasville.<\/a>\nScroll all the way to the bottom to find information for\nthe\nThomasville<\/a>\nevent.\n

\n\n<\/a>\n

\nThe one we had here was sponsored by the\nGeorgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities\nand All About Developmental Disabilities, an Atlanta-based advocacy\ngroup. One of the things we learned was that these Crisis Response\nSystems supposedly have been in place since June 1, one based in\nValdosta and one in another part of the region. You can go to the\nDBHDD website to see the counties included in our area.\n

\nThe teams were\nformed by contracting with organizations from California and Indiana\n(instead\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\nof some of the local organizations that applied for the\ncontracts and there are some serious concerns about how teams from\nother states can begin to become familiar enough with the (limited)\nresources here to be effective any time soon. One social worker told\nthe story of a teenager who is in foster care whose behavior is\nprobably indicative of autism, but he has never been diagnosed having\nsat for three days in a hospital in this region earlier this month\nbecause NO ONE knew what to do with him since he could not stay in his\nfoster home because of his behaviors…..\n

\nThe services that comprise\nthis broken system were among the few allocated funds over what they\nhad last year by the Georgia legislature because of the Department of\nJustice agreement, but it is still too little, too poorly set up and\nvery limited in areas outside metro Atlanta and south of Macon. I would\nencourage people to attend the meeting on June 28 (they need to sign up\nby June 21) and voice their concerns there and to their legislators.\n

\nJane\n<\/blockquote>\nMuch tarzanning around finally found\n\nthe DBHDD website page about the Georgia Crisis Response System<\/a>,\nand more tarzanning found\n\nthis PDF of the Training Announcement<\/a>.\nIt does not seem to appear anywhere on DBHDD as a text in a web page,\nso we’ve stuck it on the LAKE site as\n\nas an HTML page.<\/a>\n

\nThere are actually two more sessions,\nin\nWaycross<\/a>\nand\nThomasville<\/a>,\nalthough you’re supposed to have already registered for the Waycross one.\nRegistration is still open until 21 June for the\nThomasville<\/a>\nsession.\n
