It's rare to be excited about end of year grant reporting, but at the Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Outreach, we find ourselves looking forward to preparing a summary of everything we've done together as part of the HOPE Consortium this past year. Our infrastructure is looking great, the Training Committee has developed a great agenda for the next grant year, a Treatment Path Committee meeting is on the books for early January, and we're ready to hit the ground running in 2017!
As usual, if you have something you'd like to add to a future update, please feel free to contact Rachel Stankowski by email
or (715) 221-8418. Similarly, for any questions, comments, or concerns about the newsletter updates, contact Rachel and she'll put you in touch with the person best able to assist you.

MOU/BAA Updates
Following signature on the HOPE Consortium memorandum of understanding (MOU)/business associate agreement (BAA), clients can be officially consented for participation in grant services and data can be collected using the REDCap system. We are so pleased to report that we currently have signed MOU/BAAs in place with The Human Service Center, Iron County Human Services, Price County Health & Human Services, and DLM Consulting, LLC. In addition, following legal review, Forest County Potawatomi has an agreement ready to sign and the Lac du Flambeau Tribal Council has indicated an interest in signing and forwarded the document for legal review. Thank you all for the tremendous effort you have made to move these agreements forward in your own organizations - if there is anything we can do to help facilitate signature, please let us know.

REDCap - Go Live Date
The HOPE Consortium REDCap Database is nearly ready for use by partners with MOU/BAAs in place. Use of the REDCap Database will give HOPE Consortium providers a one-stop-shop for client information related to HOPE Consortium service provision, including care coordination, attendance at AODA counseling sessions, urinalysis results, quality of life indicators, and more, while prominently displaying other important risk factors (e.g., pregnancy, intravenous drug use). Leila Deering has established a go live date of January 23, 2017. To facilitate REDCap launch at your organization, please respond to Leila's email (sent December 20th) with information about individuals in your organization that will need access to REDCap as well as dates for training. Training will last approximately 60 minutes with an additional 30 - 60 minutes for questions and exploration of potential use cases; Leila will bring the training to you. If you have any questions about the REDCap database and what you need to do to get ready, please contact Leila at

The annual HOPE Consortium Wraparound Care Coordination Fundamentals and Collaborative Team Process training with Dan Naylor and Philip Robinson from White Pine Consulting Service was held November 29th and 30th at Reuland's Banquet Facility in Arbor Vitae. Approximately 30 people attended the highly engaging and interactive training, including care coordinators from the HOPE Consortium and Tri-County Women's Grant. In addition to the excellent training, we also had the opportunity to recognize three of our five HOPE Consortium care coordinators who recently celebrated their one year anniversary with our group. The response to care coordination services has been wonderful throughout the region and we are incredibly grateful to this dedicated team!

Training Committee Meeting
The annual HOPE Consortium Training Committee Meeting was held on a snowy December 8th in Arbor Vitae. JoAnna Giraud from Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Outreach and Wayne Sorenson and Kari Schultz from University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point co-facilitated the discussion amongst 15 attendees that ultimately resulted in development of a robust training agenda for 2017. Priority topics for the coming year include training in wraparound services, trauma-informed care, Seeking Safety, and recovery oriented systems of care. In addition, meeting attendees were keen to move forward with a two-day conference event to be held locally. Conference session ideas included care of pregnant women, setting the stage for recovery coaching, Matrix training, Seeking Safety, anxiety, and cultural awareness/humility/responsiveness. Additional information on the 2017 training plan will be provided as plans are solidified. The next Training Committee Meeting will be held on August 15, 2017 at Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center.

Recovery Corps Update
On December 7th, Danielle Luther of the Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Outreach presented the Recovery Corps grant to the state Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) where we learned we scored the minimum 80/100 possible points necessary for funding. A few minor modifications to the proposal are in process based on reviewer recommendations, with a revision due by January 4th before submission to compete for funding at the national level. In the spring, we will learn whether our funding will come from the state or national level. Meanwhile, we are busy planning for grant start in September 2017. A fact sheet about the Recovery Corps program based on questions we have received to date is currently under preparation and will be available to HOPE Consortium partners at the next Steering Committee meeting.

Literature Update: Surgeon General's Report
A new Surgeon General's Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health entitled "Facing Addiction in America" was published in November. To view, download, or order the report or executive summary, please click
here
. At over 400 pages, the report presents a forward thinking approach to the science of addiction and its effects on individuals, families, communities, and our nation, which is consistent with HOPE Consortium philosophies and heartening as we move forward with our own work. The much shorter executive summary is well worth the read, providing a high level overview of the problem we face and a stepwise approach to understanding addiction from neurobiology to prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery, and beyond.
