STAR-SI Year-Three Kick-Off Held in Bradenton
The third and final STAR-SI grant kick off was held October 16-17 in Bradenton. Manatee Glens, year-one STAR-SI participant, hosted the meeting of Executive Sponsors, Change Team Leaders, Mentors, Department of Children and Families Circuit Program Supervisors, Networks and other partners.
The agencies participating in STAR-SI this year are:
- Bayview Center for Mental Health in Miami,
- The Centre for Women in Tampa,
- Coastal Behavioral Healthcare in Sarasota,
- Drug Abuse Treatment Association in Jupiter,
- River Region Human Services in Jacksonville,
- Sutton Place Behavioral Health in Yulee, and
- Tri-County Human Services in Lakeland.
In preparation for the kick-off meeting, each agency participated in two conference calls and conducted an agency “walkthrough”. The new site representatives shared the results of the walkthrough with the group and, based on their findings, chose an area to “aim” their focus and begin implementing rapid cycle changes.
Paul Rollings, Circuit 1 Substance Abuse Program Supervisor, and his team member Thomas Chen presented important information to the group on data collection. Thanks to the work of these gentlemen, data collection for STAR-SI has been refined. It will now be easier to communicate data with others and to interpret the degree to which a change cycle has been successful.
Plans to continue the phenomenal success of the STAR-SI project beyond the grant cycle are underway. What we have learned thus far is an integral part of the Florida Learning System.
