Thank you Dr. Hall: Hi Diane, Thank you for inviting us to the CAPP meeting and to provide the opportunity for us to describe ongoing community efforts surrounding Mercy Foundation Planning Grant for Child Abuse Prevention. To clarify, one main goal of the planning grant is to bring together all community partners including governmental agencies, non-profits, faith based communities, and non-traditional partners (those whose lives have been touched by child abuse and have interacted with existing systems and services) to establish a forum for community collaboration on increasing capacity to prevent child abuse. The building of this group is a key focus of planning efforts. I wanted to clarify this fundamental goal of the planning grant because one point that has been repeatedly raised in the planning meetings is the 'siloed' efforts' surrounding child abuse work in the community. Again, I appreciate your invitation to your meeting and look forward to ongoing collaboration to prevent child abuse.

Lunch will be served. I. Welcome Dr. Marcia Hall welcomed attendees. A reflection was offered by Pam Spettel. Self-introductions were held around the table. II. Review of Planning Process and Gaps/Assets Dr. Hall explained the grant is a one-year planning grant with the possibility of being awarded an additional 2 year implementation grant to build community capacity to prevent child abuse. Dr. Hall briefly discussed the mapping of existing primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention, and added the teen drop-in shelter, SART and Casa de Belen to our ongoing assessment chart as follows: Primary: Secondary: Tertiary: Parenting classes* * *Parenting classes** ***Parenting classes Boys & Girls Club** **Boys & Girls Club CARES / CASA Faith-community youth/family ADAPT Peer Group** **ADAPT Peer Group School-based police Foster parent ed. & trng. I.S.R.S. / C.W.P. Duck Race Post-adoption services BPA shelter FDC Healthy Start*** ***FDC Healthy Start Crime Victim*s Services Build Our Kids (B.O.K.)

The model is now used to address child abuse at multiple levels of intervention including; individual, relationships-families, community, sector and society levels. III. Discuss Emerging Themes for Short-Term Action in Addressing Gaps Due to lack of quorum, it was decided that this discussion would result in no binding decisions, but would further our group conversation. The group discussed short-term efforts this group could facilitate as emerging themes of: ? Training- o SANE (Sexual Abuse Nurse Examiners) training * open to community partners. o Law enforcement training * forensic in terviewing et. al.. o Collaborative/interdisciplinary training * strengthen current collaboration, policy, protocols, and practice. o Foster Parents (specialized training to support skills and environments to care for trauma/abuse victims) ? Environmental Improvements o Emergency Department for pediatric, adolescent abuse * assault victims. Other critical environments? If anyone has ideas for high-quality * *best practice* or evidence based trainers, please let Dr. Hall, Lisa Platt, or Pam Spettel know. IV. Including the Broader Community and system clients - users: Brainstorming ideas and dates for Community Wide Forum The group discussed some options for conducting community forums for the purpose of collection of information/ input from non-traditional users of the system and the community at large. This data/input will augment our ongoing needs assessment that has mapped community assets and gaps and the gathered agency data to be presented in December. Together, all sources of information and data from our Child Abuse Needs Assessment will drive our planning for implementation. Ideas generated were to hold the forum/s in a neutral location, such as the Ford Room at the Roseburg library, along with a north and south county forum held in community center, schools, etc. It would be preferable to hold the forums from 4-5:30 p.m. to encourage broad participation; and to hold the forums Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays in late January. Mercy Medical Center*s Communication department will assist us in getting our message out about the meetings once details are decided upon. The Violence Prevention Coalition members will be asked to communicate information to their clients/associates/ etc. about the meetings to generate excitement and participation. V. Looking Ahead: Our Next Meeting Questions/ Answers/Guidelines for Presenting Agency Utilization Data Each Agency or Group will be asked to provide a 3-5 minute presentation of their gathered Data. This will allow for increased understanding of what information is being gathered, and how it is gathered. Each agency can provide the *context* for what they have to share. Pat noted the challenges and time required to gather data. He requested that prior to the next meeting that repeated encouragement and reminders be communicated to all group members outlining the importance of gathering and sharing data of at the Dec. meeting. SPECIFICS OF DATA ASSIGNMENT: 1. Please provide any data that your organization collects regarding services for children and families related to child abuse Prevention * Intervention * Response. 2. When gathering your data for the discussion in December please try to answer the following questions regarding the data: a) Do you know if your numbers are 1. Unique numbers i.e. distinct individuals and families? or 2. Duplicate * repeat utilization by the same individuals and families? or 3. Don*t know*we don*t gather that information. b) Do you know the level of prevention or response to which your data is linked? i.e. 200 people served for acute (Response) to abuse or 500 people attended the Duck Race (Primary Prevention) c) If you had 1 wish for an additional type of data that your agency currently doesn*t have but would be really helpful, what data would that be? DECEMBER MEETING PRESENTATIONS OF AGENCY UTILIZATION DATA: 1. Each organization will have 3-5 minutes in which to share your data. If you*d like to share your information via PowerPoint, we will have a projector and laptop available for you to insert a jump drive or disc. Handouts, etc. are welcome. This opportunity will promote dialog, shared understanding, and take us one step closer to begin prioritizing based on what the group has learned and initiate prevention planning efforts. 2. Review and discuss-revisions/additions to short term *filling the response gaps* with training, environmental enhancements and? If you h ave any questions please feel free to contact Marcia Hall, Lisa Platt or Pam Spettel (541-677-6531). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's so great to be engaged with like-minded folks: the goal of the Mercy grant sounds just like our target when we began CAPP. That has meant that a large number of agencies have met with us, communicated their needs to each other, planned and participated together on projects for these years since we started. Do you have the membership lists that would reflect the number of agencies, businesses and individuals who've been involved over time? I've always been impressed with the large number who've stayed active for long periods. It's very exciting to think of even more (and new?) energy added on behalf of this big community concern.
