New Business: Debbie shared a list of things the task force would like communicated to KDADS:
- Helpline data provided that allows a clear understanding of how many individuals referred by provider type (i.e. GA, KCPC, CMHC, etc.).
- Helpline data provided that allows for a clear understanding of why the person seeking help is calling (i.e. new referral, VEP removal, reengage in treatment, etc.).
- Number of individuals referred to treatment and actually entered treatment. (By gaming zone would be sufficient.).
- Number of individuals entered into treatment by county reported in the same manner VEP data is reported.
- Number of individuals who successfully completed treatment compared to the number who entered treatment. (An annual statewide number would be sufficient.).
- Assistance in developing additional provider and self-help resources, especially Gamblers Anonymous.
Debbie reported that she has asked Shannon to update the helpline data.
