3rd Quarter Review
School has resumed and we’re excited to be back. Our schoolbased programs are in full effect!!
Although we didn’t have a Therapeutic Summer Program this year, we did implement summer group sessions that were held at the office.
During some of the sessions, MHPs and MHPPs worked with clients on coping skills to implement during conflicts at home, school, etc.
July 2017: Medicaid changes began as preparations for the PASSE are being made for 2018. Leadership has been attending meetings/conferences to become as “in the know” as possible to ensure we are compliant in every aspect. July 4th the office was closed for observance of Independence Day.
August 2017: 2017-2018 school year began!! We are school based in more than 10 schools b/t PB and LR locations and working daily to do all we can to make a difference in the lives of our children and families as a whole. The P.A.T. Center donated school supplies to clients for the school year to assist parents and to alleviate expenses, where possible. Also, in the month of August, Mrs. Johnson, our Clinical Director, participated in the 45th Annual Behavioral Health Institute in Hot Springs, AR. The institute was hosted and held at the Hot Springs Convention Center. Mrs. Johnson set up a table where information about the P.A.T. Center was displayed/explained to those attending and other vendors. The theme of the conference was: “Changing Times”. The focus of the training was on social work, psychology, counseling and substance abuse professionals. The P.A.T. Center was busy in the month of August and were out and about in the community empowering parents, schools, daycares, etc. on the services provided and the great need for the services at such a crucial time in life. Our CEO, Mr. Ronald Kirby, went to one of our local schools and a school The P.A.T. Center is based in (Jack Robey Junior High) to do a presentation geared towards the male population. The P.A.T. Center went out to educate on mental health on another occasion at a local
daycare. P.A.T. Center Representatives spoke to daycare staff and parents present and discussed benefits of mental health, the services provided and answered any questions presented in Q & A setting. Pamphlets and brochures were left for parents to review at their availability.
PI/QA Meeting was held in August at the office.
September 2017: September, 4th the office was closed in observance of Labor Day. September 16, The P.A.T. Center hosted its 1st Annual Resource Fair. Many vendors and volunteers attended, providing information on college requirements, scholarships, expungement, healthy meal ideas, etc. September 27, the Advisory Board met @ Cajun’s Wharf in Little Rock to discuss projections for the remainder of 2017 upcoming in 2018.
