9/18/2018 STARK COUNTY’S MI/ID JOURNEY • Stark County’s Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Board (Stark MHAR) & Development Disabilities Board (SCBDD) formed a Mental Illness/Intellectual Disabilities (MI/ID) training and consultation partnership in 2010 with support from Ohio’s MI/ID Coordinating Centers of Excellence (CCOE). • Stark MHAR staff and SCBDD staff have established the ability to meet weekly. We address systemic challenges and training needs that support our agency providers in better serving individuals in our systems who have co-occurring development disabilities.

9/18/2018 MI/ID PURPOSE The purpose of each MI/ID Team consultation is to properly identify the balance of services needed to help the dually diagnosed individual be most successful, by: • Utilizing the Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and other resources available in our community, as they meet the needs of the individual; • Ensuring that each professional is fulfilling their role to their maximum capacity and with consistency for the individual; • Brainstorming services and supports not necessarily available, but NEEDED, while maintaining focus on strengths and solutions - Thinking outside the box and building on technological advances is also encouraged; and • Understanding that funding issues can be addressed at a later date, not during MI/ID. MI/ID GOALS & EXPECTATIONS The following goals & expectations have been established in order to facilitate a beneficial, strength-based meeting: • All conversation needs to be polite and professional; • Be respectful of the conversation taking place and of those who are speaking (No sidebar conversations, or interrupting others); • Meetings are solution-focused, to identify and build on the strengths, interests, and abilities of the individual; • The individual is given the opportunity to participate in his/her meeting to the extent they are comfortable; • The team includes, empowers, and maximizes involvement of the family and natural supports identified by the individual; • Discussion incorporates factors into the planning process such as, medical conditions, trauma triggers, lack of control over their own life, and communication challenges; and • Discussion centered on identifying the skills, supports, and accommodations needed to help the individual be successful and live the life they want. THE MI/ID TEAM • Ability to hold Weekly Meetings • For individuals serviced in both systems • Providers from either system can refer • Received three Team Awards from the State (2010, 2015, 2017) 3
