Prevention Services must meet, at a minimum, quarterly with all other DMH-funded and/or certified Prevention Services within their mental health region/catchment area. Each agency provider or approved designee is responsible for submitting the agenda and minutes to the Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services with Quarterly Reports. Other community-based organizations that have an interest in the prevention of substance use (domestic violence, gambling, school personnel, Employee Assistance Program [EAP] Coordinators, corrections, health department, etc.) may participate in the coalition meetings. The populations being served should have a representative on the coalition. Additionally, regions should be familiar with other services within their area of the state but not necessarily within their mental health region.
training is required for each grant year. Evidence of training should be attached to the progress report and available for review in the personnel or separate employee training file.
