A
E
E
Of
personal
experience,
along
with
a
deep
understanding
of
the
spanish-speaking
community
in
beaufort
county
anna,
has
a
bachelor's
degree
in
psychology
with
a
minor
in
spanish
from
the
university
of
south
carolina
and
is
currently
working
towards
her
master's
degree
in
social
work.
In
the
coming
months,
anna
will
receive
an
orientation
to
the
department's
initiatives
and
will
be
exposed
to
the
ongoing
efforts
community-wide
to
address
homelessness,
and
what
I
have
done
is.
I
have
asked
ben
to
do
a
brief
presentation
on
a
more
detailed
role
of
anna's
position.
G
G
G
D
G
G
G
G
G
For
information
referral,
our
vision
is
that
she
will
become
a
coordinated
entry
point
for
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
the
community.
We
see
coordinated
entry
in
the
sense
that
we
want
all
people
in
the
community
to
call
our
department
so
that
we
can
help
coordinate
interventions,
responses
or
make
recommendations
for
individuals.
C
G
Because,
depending
on
what
those
needs
are
will
depend
on
how
quickly
we
need
to
address
it,
how
it
will
be
addressed
and
so
on,
as
well
as
providing
a
warm
handoff
to
partners.
So
we
don't
want
to
just
say:
go
give
a
call
over
to
so,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
anna
says
hey.
Let
me
go
and
talk
with
this
partner
with
you,
we'll
walk
over
there
we'll
go.
G
F
G
Mental
health
is
it
addiction.
Are
there
other
issues
going
on
and
then
ultimately
identify
recommendations
and
solutions?
We
want
to
research,
comparable
communities
figure
out
what
they've
done
to
address
issues
of
homelessness,
identify
gaps,
our
local
service
array
figure
out
if
there's
something
that
we're
missing,
of
course
coordinate
with
our
municipal
partners,
and
we
want
to
really
implement
a
high
high-tech
high-touch
approach
where
we're
going
to
be
working
with
folks
one-on-one,
but
also
leveraging
our
existing
networks
and
other
systems
to
make
sure
they
get
the
best
support
possible.
C
Have
a
question,
mr
chairman:
the
head
system:
yes,
is
it
connected
where
people
from
other
municip
other
like
savannah
and
charleston?
Are
they
using
that
system
too?
I
mean.
Is
there
an
you
know
I've
when
I
first
moved
here,
I
this
is
in
1991.
They
said.
Oh,
we
just
shipped
our
homeless
off
to
savannah.
C
H
G
G
G
A
Here
and
let
me
let
me
extend
a
warm
welcome
to
you:
you'll
be
joining
a
dedicated,
talented
and
focused
group
of
people
and
it's
a
team
that
we
high.
We
hold
in
very
high
esteem,
so
we're
happy
that
you're
joining
them
and
we
will
stand
by
and
see
the
great
things
that
you
do
as
you
join
this
terrific
team
so
welcome
to
employment
at
beaufort
county.
Thank
you,
sir.
G
G
Yes,
it's
definitely
not
on
the
table.
There
are
shelters,
you
know,
savannah
charleston
both
have
shelters,
they're,
always
full
they're,
always
on
waiting
lines.
So
it's
it's
very,
very
difficult
to
achieve
an
immediate
solution
to
housing.
So
in
terms
of
building
capacity,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
agencies
also
are
equipped
to
address
those
needs
as
quickly
as
possible
and
that's
going
to
involve
identifying
additional
resources.
G
I
I
I
do
have
the
same
concern
than
mrs
howell
had
has
that
we
have
a
tendency
of
shipping
people
out
and
I
don't
think
that's
the
solution.
So
as
you
build
capacity,
I
hope
you
part
of
your
goal
is
to
look
at
some
type
of
shelter
or
some
sort
here
and
working
with
particularly
the
mentally
challenged,
and
you
know,
because
they're
they're
they're
more
severe
right
now
and
if
you
can
find
solutions,
they're
not
going
anywhere
they're
gonna,
be
here
and
we're
just
gonna
have
to
address
that
issue.

Mrs
sally
earned
her
undergraduate
undergraduate
degree
from
the
university
of
south
carolina
in
criminal
justice
and
a
master's
in
rehabilitation
counseling
from
south
carolina
state
university.
Her
work
history
includes
employment
with
the
charleston
county
sheriff's
office
as
a
detention
officer
and
a
wealth
of
training
from
south
carolina
criminal
justice
academy
and
charleston
county
sheriff's
office.
E
She
has
also
worked
as
a
service
coordinator
for
children
with
severe
emotional
disorders
with
the
south
carolina
governor's
office
division
of
continuum
of
care.
In
that
role
she
worked
in
beaufort
county,
which
allowed
her
to
build
many
collaborative
partnerships.
Many
years
ago,
mrs
sally
is
looking
forward
to
developing
new
and
rebuilding
some
old
partnerships.
In
her
current
role,
mrs
sally
has
established
career
over
28
years.
E
E
Other
responsibilities,
included,
oversight
of
resources,
ensuring
the
delivery
of
services
to
all
patients
served
and
coordinating
with
the
center's
treatment
team
and
center-wide
management
team
in
2000
in
september
of
2001,
she
transitioned
into
her
role
as
the
executive
director
for
coastal
empire.
As
the
executive
director.
She
is
responsible
for
ensuring
the
sound
operations
and
oversight
of
the
center
for
five
communities
in
the
state
of
south
carolina.
E
E
She
has
made
a
personal
commitment
to
developing
and
maintaining
strong
collaborative
partnership,
with
a
focus
on
increasing
access
to
care,
decreasing
stigma,
prevention
and
promoting
awareness
within
all
of
her
attachment
areas,
all
of
which
is
necessary
to
link
patients
to
their
local
community
support
while
they
receive
comprehensive
mental
health
treatment.
And
I'd
like
to
ask
miss
sally
to
come
up
here
and
speak.
H
I
don't
think
in
that
introduction.
There
might
be
much
more
for
me
to
say
but
good
afternoon
to
all
of
you
and
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
be
here.
Thank
you,
ms
audra,
for
the
invitation.
I
do
apologize
for
the
long
bio
it
was
provided
for
someone
else,
and
so
I
asked
miss
audrey
to
please
curtail.
H
I
am
making
it
a
high
priority
or
it
is
a
high
priority
to
be
more
involved
and
to
have
our
center
more
involved
in
this
community
to
work
towards
exploring
the
needs
of
the
community
so
that
we
are
answering
to
those
needs.
We
have
a
big
focus
right
now
on
community-based
programs
outside
of
just
what
we
do
in
the
clinic,
which
are
our
normal
clinic-based
services,
which,
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
know
coastal
empire,
is
an
extension
of
the
department
of
mental
health.
H
We
are
your
community
mental
health
center,
and
so
we
provide
rehabilitative
services
to
those
we
give
priority
to
the
severely
or
those
impacted
by
mental
illness.
That
may
be
more
persistent,
and
we
also
focus
on
a
lot
of
community
programs
that
we
now
have
to
offer
through
the
department
that
we
did
not
have
in
the
past,
such
as
individual
placement
services,
which
helps
our
patients
to
be
able
to
find
or
to
prepare
them
to
be
work
ready
and
also
connect
them
with
vocations
and
careers
of
their
choice.
H
We
also
have
our
mobile
crisis
program,
which
we're
in
the
process
of
developing,
or,
I
wouldn't
say,
redeveloping.
It
was
community
crisis
response
intervention,
and
now
we've
moved
to
mobile
crisis,
which
is
a
little
bit
differently,
different
our
school
mental
health
programs,
care
coordination,
which
links
patients
to
resources
within
the
community
just
as
a
few,
and
also
like
our
peer
support
services,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
is
is
really
a
high
priority.
H
J
H
H
Okay,
so
currently
coastal
is
serving
over
2200
patients
and
of
those
2200
there
are
approximately
11.
I
want
to
say.
1100
was
the
last
count
that
I
had
that's
between
adults
and
children,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
that
is
a
very
low
number
for
us.
A
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
staffing.
Our
school
mental
health
services
here
in
beaufort
county
is
not
where
we
would
like
for
it
to
be.
H
I
just
had
a
conversation
with
dr
white
from
beaufort
county
school
district
in
our
plans
to
meet
to
talk
about
the
expansion
of
school
mental
health
services
on
our
behalf
to
serve
the
county.
Part
of
that
has
to
do
with
staffing.
We're
not
you
know
it's
not
any
different
for
us
than
it
has
been
for
anyone
else
as
far
as
recruitment
and
retention
of
staff.
Quite
frankly,
we
are
pretty
understaffed
right
now
and
I
have
about.
I
have
78
full-time
employees
and
for
us
to
be
full
staff.
H
I
B
I
H
H
We
we've
tried
to
build
partnerships
with
every
agency,
every
service
organization
that
are
operating
because
at
some
point
the
lives
of
our
patients
are
touched
by
a
lot
of
those
organizations.
And
so
what
we're?
Looking
for
in
the
in
developing
those
relationships
are
better
outcomes
for
our
patients.
So.
I
H
We
are
most
of
the
time.
Of
course,
there
are
private
providers
that
are
in
within
the
community,
but
from
the
ed
standpoint
from
emergency
departments
if
they
are
encountering
someone
who
is
impacted
by
or
an
individual
who
is
diagnosed
with
a
mental
illness,
and
they
need
assistance
as
far
as
finding
a
bed
or
finding
resources
or
making
a
referral
most
of
the
time.
Those
do
come
to
coastal
empire.
Okay,.
A
And
sally
we're
starting
we're
in
the
planning
stage
our
initiative
to
focus
more
on
mental
illness
and
homelessness
within
the
county
and
as
we
move
into
a
more
advanced
stage
of
that
initiative,
I'm
looking
forward
to
engaging
with
you
further
on
this
very
important
topic,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
coming
today
to
tell
us
what
you
do.
It's
a
pleasure
to
meet
you,
and
I
expect
that
we,
I
hope,
I'm
sure,
we'll
be
seeing
more
of
you
in
the
future.
Thank
you
very
much.

and
this.
B

because
we
need

Oh,

Thank

very

J
J
Thank

real,

Just
just
a
few
more
things.
The
mapping
and
applications
team
have
completed
their
new
citizens,
transparency
portal
and
we
hope
to
bring
that
live
by
the
end
of
the
month.
We
also
have
a
foia
portal,
that's
in
production,
and
we
should
excuse
me,
that's
being
being
rolled
out,
so
we
hope
we
can
have
that
done
by
the
end
of
the
month,
because
we
want
to
roll
out
those
two
items
together,
because
it
would
make
a
great
news
story
per
our
pio
and
deputy
administrator.
J
In
addition,
the
mapping
and
applications
department
they've
upgraded.
The
the
bc
connect,
mobile,
app
they've,
also
created
a
litter
control
app
as
or
excuse
me,
a
litter
control,
ticketing,
app
and
they've
also
created
a
animal
services.
Mobile
ticketing,
app
so
they've
been
doing
some
great
things
with
some
code.
On
the
back
end,
the
communications
team
is
continuing
to
roll
out
gas
station
tv
with
new
content.

so
gas
station
tv
hits
about
200
000
views
per
month
and
it's
extremely
cost
effective.
You
know
the
the
exact
same
number
of
views,
if
we
were
to
put
it
on
a
television
station,
would
probably
cost
about
75
percent.
More
they've
also
have
a
great
partnership.
J
That's
going
on
with
whi
and
843
tv,
so
the
new
843
tv
that's
going
to
be
coming
out
is
the
parks
and
rec
focus
they're,
going
to
be
focusing
also
on
mosquito
control,
education
and
they're,
going
to
be
talking
about

So
those
are
the
the
three
10
minute
programs
that
are
going
to
be
coming
out
on
843
tv.

Finally,
we
have
broadcasting
they're
continuing
to
work
on
upgrading
hardware,
they've
recently
upgraded
their
cameras.
They
replaced
some
10
year
old
cameras,
so
we
should
have
some
better
quality
broadcasts
for
when
they
go
out
into
the
field,
they're,
also
working
on
a
spot
that
is
going
to
go

is
going
to
play
during
the
heritage.
Golf

they've
also
kind
of
revamped
their
on-air

So
they
can,

can
show
more

do
some
more
work
with
them.

of
off
script

Last
week
we
had
a
an
email,
went
out
to
two
individuals
in
the
county
and
it
was
a
very
specific,
very
malicious
email
and
our
systems
caught
it
right.
We
caught
it
and
we
analyzed
it
