We were not selected for this funding. However, we are at a critical point in our organizational life: do we continue to maintain an office in Cowlitz County or not. When Cowlitz County left the Southwest WA Behavioral Health (SWBH) Regional Support Network (RSN) all governmental funding to NAMI SW WA that supported our services in Cowlitz County ceased. It has taken over a year for the Great Rivers Behavioral Health Organization (BHO) to reach the point where they are ready to provide some support for NAMI SW WA in the way SWBH RSN did. This will be limited support, providing about $3,000 per quarter as we present educational classes and groups to this county and Wahkiakum. Our office expenses to maintain our Cowlitz office are close to $8,000 /month or $96,000 /year including salaries for our three - part -time staff, two of whom are peers. The application we provided for the RFP was for two mental health counselors because we had hoped to start our behavioral health services in Cowlitz County as we have done in Clark County. However, if we are not able to support our office, itself, we cannot possibly open our behavioral health services. We are now asking Cowlitz County to simply help us stay open so that we can continue to offer the programs and services that many in the county rely on NAMI providing. Our request is for somewhere between 50,000 and $90,000. In return, and in line with the goals of the 1 /1011 of 1% sales tax NAMI SW WA would be able to: Continue to provide STRivE psychoeducational groups to county residents but have one or more special STRivE classes just for people in the therapeutic courts. STRivE classes provide special training in the skills and use of tools that are necessary for getting into and staying in recovery. We use this program in the jail in Clark County for those in pre - release. It would work most successfully in Cowlitz if it were court- mandated as part of the therapeutic court program. Help Cowlitz County Corrections in efforts to have a pre - release program that could include offering STRivE to inmates as well as providing peer services to those who are being released from jail; NAMI SW WA has been asked to discuss working directly with Mental Health Court MHC) in Clark County to provide peers for those enrolled in MHC. We could provide similar peer services in Cowlitz County. NAMI SW WA is prepared to: provide education to schools and school district faculty, staff, and parents in Colwitz County through our Parents and Teachers as Allies program with the result of getting more communication about children who might be at risk for mental health and SUD disorders our knowledge and skilled speakers who talk about the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACES) on future impact of mental and physical health of children who live with trauma follow up on our training for HeLa High students in Vancouver which will take place this summer by training students to become peer mentors for their fellow students, possibly Vancouver: 5411 E Mill Plain Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98661 * 360 - 695 -2823 * Serving Clark and Skamania counties Longview: 1128 Broadway St, Suite A, Longview, WA 98632 * 360 - 703 -6722 * Serving Cowlitz County www.namiswwa.or * https : / /www.facebook.com /namiswwa o beginning with RA Long High School where we worked with drama students this past year on the wonderful play, A Mental State o continuing to talk in- person or by telephone with those individuals and family members who need pre- crisis help to keep them out of crisis services including help with resources of all sorts, communication issues with family members and friends, setting boundaries, using skills and tools they are not yet comfortable with, and other matters U.%, qz CO& r PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT Contract Number: NAMIBH 18 gSHINGIG THIS AGREEMENT is entered into between COWLITZ COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Washington, (hereinafter called "County" or "Cowlitz County ") and PD' z'3 -IT Name: National Alliance on Mental Illness CNfso Address: 5411 East Mill Plain, Suite 4 gaw-4) Vancouver, WA 98661 Phone No: (360) 695 -2823 hereinafter called "Contractor ").
