CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-11-28 | 16 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, November 28, 2018, 6:30 PM community, and kind of solicit help with it. Developing a financial sustainability plan, because additional staff, it costs Money. Things that kind of fell into the no cost solutions were developing a clear process and site expectations for the referrals and for crisis intervention, kind of revising our roles and responsibilities on who we have providing mental health services, hopefully, freeing up more of our experts, freeing up more of our school psychologists who aren't just doing assessments for kids that are coming up for special education, like doing a better job with our tier one and our tier two. So that is, you know where I'm going with that. Jodi McCarthy: So utilizing them better and strengthening and building relationships with outside partners which is really hard to do, it's really hard to do, especially in a community that doesn't have a lot of Medi-Cal population. Stuff that we already have planned, we're presenting all of this at the school sites, we're doing some community presentations, we have monthly meetings with Alameda Family Services, and they're going through their own revamping and we've already presented to the board and we're going to do more presentations on what we're doing in order to kind of move this process along. That's it. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Great. Thank you so much, I'm sure we have some questions. Jodi McCarthy: A million I'm sure. Yeah, it's a lot. Acting Chair Jenn Barrett: Commissioner Brillinger, do you have anything that you want to Arnold Brillinger: I have. If you would have been working back in the '60s or in the '90s, with the same kind of assessment to find out what these different feelings were, how do your findings differ from somebody that would have been in the '60s, going to high school or in the 90s? Jodi McCarthy: So I was going to high school in the 90s. Okay, early 90s, like '91, '92, but it was still the 90s, and I have a 13 and a 15 year old son and I was a counselor in the high school, I was at Alameda High, I was at Island high for a while. And the main difference I think for kids these days, versus kids back in the '80s or the '90s, is their access to each other and their access to information. And how fast this world moves. Jodi McCarthy: You know what I mean? When Jewell came on to the scene - it's like an E-cig type of thing. When the vaping came on to the scene, everybody knew about it, right away because it was right there. If it was back in my day we would have to actually dial a phone to tell each other about it and then listen to the modem as it kind of screeched along and maybe someone would get a page. Their access, I think, their access, their access to information, their access to ways to use, their access to peers, and the social pressures. I think that's the biggest difference between then and now. Arnold Brillinger: Alright. And I realize that the cyber bullying and so forth has a lot to do with it. Jodi McCarthy: Some. Arnold Brillinger: And we didn't have it way back then. We had to do it in your face. 03/13/19 Page 16 of 32 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-11-28.pdf |
