Learning Goal 1: Examine the effectiveness of a mobile, multi-agency team effective in serving and supporting the needs of those individuals experiencing homelessness, as individuals, as family units and as communities. Analyze how collaboration to address multiple, interrelated needs “saves” time, and resources, for both consumers and partner agencies. “The collaboration with different programs saves time, money and resources. The InnROADs team is respected in the community and known for providing care, treatment, and compassion to those individuals experiencing homelessness in our area.” - Jeramy S., CT II, DBH Learning Goal 2: Examine the relationship between consumer-centered engagement techniques and consumer readiness for treatment. Analyze which techniques are particularly well suited for different age groups, cultural groups, family structures and diagnoses. “Step 1-Bringing water, food and a blanket can be the first step in an exploration of how to begin to address the needs according to the priorities of the client or negotiating what can be done. Step 2-Listening. People need to be heard and being consistent and reliable to whatever commitment was made, as well as collaborating with others and giving a warm handoff makes for the greatest success.” - Debbie W., RN II, DPH

Learning Goal 3: Examine the effectiveness of behavioral health services and treatments in the field, including medication, therapy, rehabilitation and enhancing/strengthening support systems. Analyze which services and treatments are particularly well-suited for different age groups, cultural group, family structures and diagnosis. “The elderly population benefit from intervention from clinicians to address mental health, SUD and l inks to housing programs that can help to stabilize their situation. All InnROADs team members coordinate to provide input and information regarding programs and resources available to the
encampments and individuals who welcome the resources available are engaged in genuine conversations using the LEAP method. Services, treatments and resources are appropriately presented to each population as needed and consideration is taken towards cultural, ethnic and individual family structures.” – Ron G., AOD Counselor, DBH

Learning Goal 4: Examine how geographic information system (GIS) can be used as a collaborative tool to better understand patterns, needs and opportunities for continuous quality improvement by front line staff, supervisors, administrators and county level agencies. “GIS can be useful in displaying data associated with trends regarding illnesses, crime and gang activity, unemployment statistics, and homelessness. GIS can reveal gaps where services and treatment are lacking. GIS can provide information that can facilitate more accurate data presentations, help community-based organizations understand community data, and facilitate a better understanding of the community by mapping community needs and assets.”

Perris Hill Park Event “I think the event that was most effective in reaching and serving the homeless population was the Perris Hill event. A group was able to canvas the surrounding area to inform various groups, tents, homes that we were setting up and the services available to them. The Mobile Treatment Unit was set up for STD testing and vaccines. We were set up to give out water, snacks, and sleeping bags. A table and chairs was set up for the social worker to assist
homeless couple was eventually housed because of that encounter. Several needs were met that day. It was organized and was a great team effort.” – Debbie W. RNII
