I attended a program in which local agencies were represented and the discussion was on how to improve community outreach. A research study that evaluated the existing programs was analyzed and we have made numerous strides. Other counties are learning from us because we are ahead of the curve. Unfortunately there were no samples from veteran and disability populations. Sure I was disappointed to notice that; however, many of the consumers who attended the programs also belonged to those groups. I wrote to the director regarding the implementation of a Community Exchange Program. It would certainly cover identified concerns- transportation, isolation, etc. I hope the idea is given more consideration because it is a worthwhile program for other states and even countries.
