City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Meeting 7/6/22
B
And
we're
on
well
good
morning,
everyone
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
the
wednesday
july,
6
2022,
meeting
of
the
health
and
wellness
advisory
committee
for
the
city
of
charleston,
and
we
appreciate
everyone.
Who's
joined
us.
I
know
it's
a
small
group
this
morning
because
we're
on
a
holiday
week,
so
we
have
some
people
that
are
out
on
vacation.
I
hope
everyone
had
a
nice
independence
day
and
we
appreciate
you
jumping
back
along
with
us
and
being
here
this
morning.
B
C
Who
is,
she
is
one
of
the
founders
of
it
10
years
ago,
when
we
were
looking
at
some
opportunities
to
to
have
a
conversation
around
the
issue
of
mental
health
within
our
community
and
and
the
conference
was
one
of
those
endeavors
that
sort
of
took
off
and
took
a
life
of
its
own
and
has
become
quite
a
a
big
event.
That's
gaining
not
only
national
attention,
but
international
attention
and
reputation,
and
so
it's
what
it's
allowed
us
for
the
city
of
charleston.
C
It's
allowed
us
to
invite
speakers
that
we
would
not
have
had
the
opportunity
to
invite
maybe
early
on
in
the
process,
just
for
them,
knowing
what
the
conference
is
all
about
and
the
quality
and
credibility
of
it.
So
that's
been
very
exciting,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
a
few
things
about
the
conference.
It's
a
two
and
a
half
day
event.
That's
taking
place
july
27th
through
the
29th,
so
the
27th,
which
is
a
wednesday,
is
a
pre-conference
session.
C
We
did
this
last
year
in
2021,
so
people
can
register
and
view
things
virtually,
but
also
obviously
come
to
the
gilliard
and
join
us
as
a
community
there
and
and
thanks
for
putting
this
up.
What
you're
looking
at
right
now
is
just
the
two-day
schedule
and
we
will
get
that
sent
out
to
you
if
it
hasn't
been
already
and
I'll.
Also
put
in
the
chat
the
web
address
for
you
all
to
register.
C
This
is
a
conference
for
mental
health
professionals
and
people
out
in
the
community
who
are
just
interested
in
wellness:
mental
health,
personal
growth,
whether
it
be
their
own
or
that
of
loved
ones.
So
this
is
is
really
a
celebration
and
a
conversation
around
mental
health
in
general.
Certainly
we
a
large
portion
of
the
folks
that
are
coming,
and
so,
if
you're
affiliated
with
health
care
in
some
way
or
are
in
a
healthcare
setting
or
they're
a
healthcare
provider,
it
could
be
psychologists,
psychiatrists,
counselors,
social
workers,
nurses,
educators.
C
It's
pretty
invaluable,
so
we're
really
excited
to
have
those
different
organizations
there
as
well.
This
is
our
10-year
anniversary,
so
it's
we're
really
excited
about
that
and
that
10-year
journey
that
we've
taken
to
get
here,
and
so
it's
really
a
celebration
of
that
as
well.
So
we
have
some
performers.
C
So
just
we
who
are
big
mental
health
advocates
to
give
you
an
example
on
thursday
july
28th
in
the
afternoon,
we're
going
to
have
stephen
page
who's,
who's,
a
musician
and
the
co-founder
of
a
band.
You
may
have
heard
of
called
the
bear
naked.
Ladies
who's,
I
think
back
on
tour
now
jennifer
and
he's
going
to
give
a
live
acoustic
set
as
well
as
talk
about
his
challenges,
around
mental
health
and
his
successes
and
his
being
a
mental
health
advocate.
C
You
know
the
power
of
humor
you
know
in
regards
to
mental
health
is
certainly
important
and
so
she's
going
to
she's
also
written
a
book
on
her
struggles
with
depression
and
she's
going
to
perform
for
us
on
a
day
on
july,
28th
as
well,
and
then
on
the
29th,
we're
going
to
close
things
out
with
a
musical
performance
from
a
band
known
as
wild
ponies
out
in
nashville,
which
is
a
country
slash
rock
and
fusion
band.
That's
been
with
us
before
the
woman
who's.
C
C
So
it'll
have
a
western
component
of
a
non-western
component,
which
I
think
will
be
really
valuable
and
interesting
for
us
and
he's
quite
dynamic
and
powerful.
We
have
some
incredible
researchers
from
some
of
the
leading
educational
institutions
in
the
united
states.
So
from
stanford
university
we
have
the
chief
of
addiction,
medicine,
anna
lemke,
who's,
going
to
be
talking
and
sharing
her
work,
that
she's
done
in
research
around
dopamine
and
the
issue
of
addiction
and
sort
of
this
overstimulated
world
that
we're
all
in
at
this
point
in
time,
which
will
be
quite
fascinating.
C
C
It
will
be
very
valuable
for
our
clinicians,
but
also
just
in
terms
of
folks
in
the
community
in
general,
because
it's
going
to
talk
about
how
we
explore
the
unconscious
and
those
unconscious
dynamics
and
how
they
may
run
our
lives
and
what
we
can
do
to
sort
of
break
that
pattern
or
that
circuit
that
may
have
us
stuck
in
some
place
in
some
form,
and
so
we
have
all
different
kinds
of
talks.
Those
are
just
a
few
of
them.
C
We
have
local
folks,
reverend
byron,
benton
from
mount
moriah
missionary
baptist
church.
He
is
joining
us
he's.
Gonna
share
a
a
christian
perspective
on
understanding
trauma
and
on
mental
health
and
well-being,
and
then
we
have.
I
have
the
venerable.
I
guess,
if
I
say
that's
correctly:
dachapa
topial,
who
is
a
buddhist
monk
of
the
highest
order?
Who
is
the
head
of
the
charleston
tibetan
society
who's
going
to
talk
about
mental
health
from
a
buddhist
perspective?
C
So
it's,
I
think,
going
to
be
a
really
fascinating
and
enlightening
conversation
around
mental
health.
For
the
two
and
a
half
days,
we
would
love
to
have
not
only
you
join
us,
but
we
would
love
for
you
to
help
spread
the
word
these
last
couple
of
weeks
across
our
communities
and
let
people
know
about
it.
It's
under
60,
if
you're
not
looking
for
continuing
education
credits
to
come
for
the
for
the
full
two
days
and
it's
around
45
or
so
dollars
to
come
for
for
one
day.
C
So
it's
very
reasonably
priced
you
get
to
learn
from
some
really
innovative
work
that
people
are
doing
around
mental
health
as
well
as
we'll
have
some
great
entertainment
and
then
again
the
90
plus
exhibitors,
that
we'll
have
with
us
so
I'll
share
in
the
chat,
a
url
so
that
people
can
kind
of
go
there
and
thanks
jennifer
we
do
need.
We
need
volunteers
to
help
us
with
the
conference
we
will
have
around.
I
don't
know
anywhere
from
a
thousand
to
1500
people
in
person.
C
So
it'll
be
a
large
event
and
then
we're
going
to
have
about
500
or
so
people
who
will
be
watching
us
from
all
over
the
world
virtually
and-
and
so
it
is
a
big
undertaking,
we'd
love
to
have
some
volunteers.
So,
if
you'd
like
to
volunteer,
if
you
know
of
others,
I'll
also
give
you
my
email
and
you
can
reach
out
to
me
and
we'll
get
you
connected,
it's
a
great
team.
C
We
get
a
lot
of
feedback
about
how
well
the
conference
is
running.
Like
I
said
it's,
it's
become
an
internationally
recognized
mental
health
conference
and
we'd
love
to
have
you
the
virtual
experience
is
it's
pretty
unbelievable.
The
gilliard
we've
been
with
them,
for
I
think
five
years
now
and
they
treat
us
quite
well.
C
There's
a
community
of
folks
on
the
chat
that
are
talking
to
one
another,
as
the
talks
are
happening.
The
visual
component
in
the
audio
is
of
the
highest
quality.
So
it's
it's,
it's
really
quite
impressive.
So
if
you
can't
make
it,
although
we'd
love
to
have
you
that
is
a
really
a
real
viable
option
for
you
to
take
a
look
and
see
so
I
don't
know
jennifer.
Is
there
anything
else
that
I'm
missing
that
we
need
to
emphasize
about
it?.
D
C
C
I
didn't
want
to
say
it,
but
we're
gonna,
you
know,
he's
gonna,
be
opening
it
and
I
think
he
may
be
we're
working
on
him,
possibly
doing
something
special
to
kick
it
off.
So
there'll
be
a
lot
of
different
surprises
and
yeah.
As
jennifer
had
mentioned.
I
mean
it's
a
labor
of
love
for
me,
I'm
real
passionate
about
it.
D
C
D
If
they
volunteer
for
at
least
four
hours
throughout
the
conference,
so
it's
a
good
opportunity
to
come
and
and
and
help
us
out
and
then
also
not
have
to
pay
to
go.
So
we
would
love
to
have
volunteers
that
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to
our
students,
our
interns
and
things
like
that.
But
you
know,
if
you
guys
know
anybody
interested
please
either
reach
out
to
me
or
david
yeah,.
A
A
That
we
can,
that
we
can
just
take
from
them
and
put
it
into
our
work.
Right
now
is
is,
is,
is
really
outstanding
and
probably,
I
think
the
best
part
of
the
conference
is
that
expo,
because
you've
got
you've,
got
all
the
leaders
right
there
to
help
out.
So
I
just
wanted
to
toot
the
horn
for
that
part
of
it.
C
Yeah
thanks
paul
and
then
we
have
a
local
bookstore,
buxton
books.
That's
over
on
king
street
upper
mountain
for
king,
it's
over
on
lower
king.
They
are
phenomenal
to
us,
so
we
will
have
like
a
full-on
bookstore
at
the
exhibit
hall,
as
well
most
of
the
speakers
that
we
have
have
written
several
books
and
some
have
a
few
that
are
coming
out
that
are
gaining
a
lot
of
traction
and
attention
as
well
so
yeah.
D
Yeah
and
lastly,
I
just
want
to
say
that,
because
of
mental
health
here
is
our
supporting
non-profit.
That's
why
we're
able
to
put
it
on
it
would
be
too
difficult.
It
would
be
impossible,
as
a
state
agency,
to
put
something
like
this
on,
but
the
but
all
the
money
raised
goes
to
help
patients
at
the
mental
health
center
and
in
the
community
pay
for
rent
medications.
D
C
Thanks
jennifer
because
I
mean
it's
it's
a
great
cause
as
well,
so
that's
sort
of
even
the
cherry
on
top
for
for
the
whole
thing,
so
we
hope
you'll
reach
out.
I
put
in
the
web
address
now
in
the
chat
and
my
email
and
would
love
to
hear
from
you
and
if
I
can
answer
any
questions,
you
may
have
just
email
me
as
well
and
really
appreciate
the
opportunity.
B
You're
good
well,
thank
you,
david
any
other
questions
or
comments
before
we
move
on
well
david.
Thank
you
so
much
great
presentation,
I
mean
obviously
you've
got
incredible
expert
speakers
and
awesome
entertainment,
affordable
great
value,
and
we
are
so
fortunate
to
have
that
in
our
city
facility,
at
the
gill
yard
down
there
and
to
have
everybody
coming
into
the
city
of
charleston.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
work.
Everything
you've
done
on
that.
We
really
appreciate
it.
So
thank.
C
B
E
The
whole
idea
for
the
brain
health
round
table
was
to
provide
the
community
information
on
brain
health
and
some
of
the
diseases
like
alzheimer's
and
other
forms
of
dementia,
the
brain
disease
that
deteriorates
the
brain,
normally
those
those
diseases
kick
in
at
about
865.,
but
we
have
discovered
that
it's
been
coming
earlier
and
earlier
people
in
their
late
50s.
There
are
people
who,
as
young
as
in
their
late
40s,
have
now
started
to
develop
different
forms
of
dementia.
E
Also,
above
that,
we
wanted
to
tell
people
how
they
can
go
about
preventing
the
disease,
and
that
is
where
the
challenge
came
on.
We
discussed
the
four
pillars,
which
is
cognitive,
learning,
diet
and
nutrition,
physical
activity
and
social
engagement.
Those
are
the
four
pillars
and
our
challenge
was
for
organization
churches.
Anyone
in
this
city,
any
organization
or
group
to
take
on
one
of
the
pillars
to
gather
a
group
of
people
as
many
people
as
you
can
and
get
as
active
as
you
can
and
doing
one
of
the
challenges
for
one
of
the
pillars.
E
E
We
we
challenge
people
to
start
young
as
possible
and
get
as
active
as
possible
to
preserve
the
brain,
because
research
has
shown
that
the
more
engagement
you
have
with
the
four
pillars,
the
more
healthier
you
eat.
If
you
continue
to
learn
or
be
cognitively,
cognitively
engaged
that
it's
better
for
the
brain.
The
more
activity
daily
exercising
150
minutes
a
week
makes
a
major
major
difference,
something
as
simple
as
adding
a
lot
of
water
to
your
diet.
E
One
of
the
challenges
I
have
taken
on
is:
I
will
only
drink
water
for
the
next
45
days,
so
being
a
charlestonian.
It
is
super
hard
to
give
up
my
sweet
tea,
but
I
am
going
to
challenge
myself
to
do
that
and
hopefully,
as
we
start
the
challenge,
it
becomes
a
natural
lifestyle
change,
because
the
challenge
is
45
days
from
june
27th
until
august
11th,
and
once
we'll
follow
those
groups
who
are
interested
in
the
challenge.
E
At
the
end
of
the
challenge,
they
will
win
keys
to
the
city
and
some
other
surprise
gifts,
but
we
want
people
to
become
active.
We
want
to
do
all
that
we
can
to
preserve
our
brain
so
that
you
know
years
from
now.
We
can
remember
our
loved
ones.
Remember
our
lives,
because
one
of
the
things
that
dementia
does
it
robs
you
of
who
you
are
your
entire
life,
that
you've
lived
and
all
the
people
that
you've
loved
and
been
devoted
to
within
your
life.
We
want
to
prevent
that
for
as
many
people
as
we
can.
E
E
A
A
This
challenge
work
that
much
better.
Just
you
can
talk
nutrition.
If
you
could
talk
anything
of
those
natures
and
nick
any
way,
we
can
combine
the
low
countries
resources
to
to
help
out
these
communities.
To
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
really
sell
why
being
healthy
matters
and
and
jamie
is
open
for
those
resources
to
help
fill
that
treasure
of
oxfords.
B
A
Kevin,
I
will
say
the
city
is
taking
on
the
nutrition
side
and
they
are
going
to
do
for
the
40
to
45
days.
They
are
going
to
really
push
dieting
and
and
healthy
eating
during
the
summer
time
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
get
people
thinking
about
what
it
does
and
how
it
affects
the
brain
and
everything
else.
So.
E
Kevin,
let
me
share
one
last
tip
with
everybody.
One
of
the
things
we've
discovered
in
in
the
dementia
research
is
one
activity
that
activates
the
most
part
of
the
brain
is
learning
how
to
ballroom
dance
for
some
reason:
ballroom,
dancing
the
steps,
the
activity
and
the
music
has
one
of
the
most
engaging
activities
in
the
brain.
So
I'm
going
to
learn
how
to
ballroom
dance
guys.
A
E
I
am
last
year
I
had
a
major
surgery
and
I
was
out
for
about
90
days
and
but
doing
that
surgery.
I
I
was
bedridden.
I
had
to
use
a
walker,
so
I
couldn't
leave
my
home,
so
I
depended
on
my
my
grandniece
and
my
neighbor
to
do
all
of
my
cooking,
so
I
could
not
eat
out
at
all.
So
I
gave
up
all
my
chick-fil-a
and
everything,
so
I
and
I
don't
cook
so
I
had
to
eat
whatever
they
prepared
for
me
and
both
my
niece
and
my
neighbor
eat
very,
very
healthy.
E
So
at
the
end
of
that
time
I
went
back
to
my
doctor
and
did
blood
work
and
I've
been
a
borderline
diabetic
for
years.
My
number
has
been
like
six
point.
Nine
six
point
eight
went
back
to
my
doctor
and
he
was
like
miss
roper.
I
don't
know
what
you've
done.
He
said:
you've
lost
weight.
Your
blood
work
is
fabulous.
He
says
your
your
blood
sugar
is
now
5.8.
E
My
blood
sugar
has
never
been
that
low.
He
says
your
cholesterol
is
low
and
it's
really
really
good.
He
said
your
blood
pressure
has
gone
from.
I
think
it
was
1
30
over
97
to
71
over
107,
all
of
that
just
from
my
eating
changes,
so
I
was
able
to
make
that
major
change
not
exercising
not
doing
anything.
Just
by
changing
my
diet-
and
I
remember
that
mostly
what
I
ate
was
a
lot
of
vegetables
and
and
protein.
So
I
didn't
do
a
lot
of
carbs.
E
B
Very
good,
thank
you
all
right!
Well,
jamie!
Thank
you
again.
We
really
appreciate
you
spending
some
time
with
us
and
talking
to
us
about
this
great
presentation
and
we'll
move
on
to
our
community
health
update,
and
we
have
dr
katie
richardson
with
us.
If
she
would
kind
of
give
us
an
update
from
here.
F
F
F
F
Although
any
mammal,
including
dogs,
cats,
ferrets
boxes,
can
transmit
rabies,
so
I
think
the
message
there
for
the
general
public
is,
if
you
were
bitten
or
scratched
by
a
wild
animal
or
by
a
dog
or
cat
that
you
do
not
know
or
whether
it's
a
friend's
animal
or
your
animal.
That
does
need
to
be
evaluated.
F
You
know
the
need,
for
there
is
great
prophylaxis
in
the
form
of
immune,
globulin
and
and
rabies
vaccine,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
who
need
it
are
getting
it,
but
those
that
are,
for
instance,
have
been
bitten
or
scratched
by
say
a
neighbor's
dog
that
we're
able
to
observe
that
dog
and
that's
not
necessarily
a
reason
to
go
out
and
start
rabies
vaccination.
So
we
want
those
who
need
it
to
get
it,
but
are
happy
to
help
you
sort
of
walk
through
your
risk,
as
is
your
provider.
F
A
Equipped
to
to
talk
about
what's
happening
in
the
city,
thanks
jason
yeah,
I
would
say
that
we,
you
know
covet,
is
starting
we're
seeing
small
cases
on
a
regular
basis,
but
the
but
the
the
largest
ones
are
coming
from
close
contacts
that
are
outside,
and
people
going
to
dinner
with
others
and
all
and
the
more
we
can
just
remember
to
keep
washing
hands
and
social
distancing.
Even
when
we're
out
is,
is
very
powerful
for
locally.
But
I
I
don't
see
that
large
of
a
trend
happening
there
are
some
clues.
F
On
a
population
level,
we
we
are
not
seeing
a
ton
of
flu
cases.
Certainly
it
is
a
good
reminder
that
flu
continues.
You
know
through
the
summer
and
really
can
be
year-round
associated
with
travel
or
not.
And
yes,
I
I
too
have
heard
of
people
testing
positive
for
the
flu
having
symptoms,
not
sure
whether
it's
coveted
or
flu
or
something
else.
Some
are
testing
positive
for
coverts
on
the
flu
and
some
for
neither
of
those.
F
C
F
F
We
suspect
that
that
will
be
available
early
to
mid-fall,
but
don't
know
an
exact
time
for
that,
and
and
currently
the
booster
vaccines,
as
well
as
the
primary
series.
Vaccines
are
considered
still
effective
and
we
do
recommend
not
delaying
until
these
new
boosters
are
out,
unless
perhaps
you've
already
had
your
first
booster
and
you're,
considering
your
second
booster
and
not
in
one
of
those
high
risk
categories
meeting
the
second
booster
immediately,
we
are
seeing
some
increase
in
hospitalizations,
both
nationwide
and
in
the
low
country.
F
F
You
know
flying
through
airports
here
in
the
us
higher
than
any
time
since
the
pandemic
began,
and
we
did
see
a
spike
last
year,
this
time
sort
of
beginning
in
july,
but
where
it's
really
too
soon
to
tell
what
the
what
the
effect
will
be
from
from
travel.
We
did
see
a
jama
article
come
out
last
week,
looking
at
italian
health
care
workers,
in
fact
infected
with
coven.
F
So
I
think
they
think
that
that
is
still
important
reason
to
emphasize
for
those
who
have
not
yet
gotten
their
vaccine
or
not
yet
gotten
their
booster
after
their
primary
series
that
a
decreased
risk
of
long
covered
is
a
great
reason
to
consider
vaccination
if,
if
you're
still
on
the
fence
or
haven't
gotten
sort
of
all
doses
available
on
to
you
now,
charleston
berkeley
and
dorchester
county
are
still
in
that
medium
community
transmission
level.
So
that
is
the
level
that
says
as
paul
was
saying.
F
Six
months
to
four
years
of
age,
visor
is
a
three
dose
series,
as
the
primary
series
for
those
younger
kids
and
moderna
is
a
two
dose
series,
and-
and
so
I
do
think
you
know-
I
think
much
of
our
messaging
around
you
know
why
should
young
children
get
the
vaccine?
Is
that
it's
still
one
of
the
highest
sort
of
reasons
for
death
in
this
zero
to
four
age
group
in
the
under
age?
One
group,
it's
the
fourth
leading
cause
of
death,
proven
in
the
one
to
four
years
of
age.
F
It's
also
you
know
as
effective
as
not,
if
not
more
effective,
in
preventing
deaths
than
even
other
vaccine
preventable
illnesses
so,
for
instance,
with
with
varicella
there's
an
average
of
16
deaths
a
year
that,
prior
to
you,
know
the
recommended
prior
to
varicella
being
recommended
as
a
vaccine
and
cover
19.
There
was
an
average
of
86
deaths
a
year.
That's
in
that
six
months
to
age
four
age
group,
so
we
certainly
continue
to
strongly
recommend
all
childhood
vaccinations.
F
This
is
a
great
time
to
think
about
getting
those
prior
to
school.
There
are
school
requirements
for
kindergarten
for
seventh
grade
and
all
grades
in
between,
and
so
this
is
a
great
time
to
not
have
to
take
kids
out
of
school
to
get
those
well
child
checks
done
and
and
vaccinations,
but
the
covad
vaccine
has
the
ability
to
prevent
more
deaths
than
any
of
our
other
childhood
vaccines.
F
F
I
can't
remember
that,
though
there
is
a
recommendation
now
for
everyone,
50
age,
age,
50
and
over
with
or
without
underlying
medical
conditions,
to
get
that
second
booster
dose
and
that's
at
least
four
months
after
the
first
booster
and
then
anyone
who
hasn't
had
their
first
booster,
at
least
five
months
after
their
primary
series.
That
has
been
a
recommendation
for
some
time,
so
I
think
I'll
stop
there
for
those
interested
in
vaccination.
B
Any
questions
for
dr
richardson
well.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
update.
We
appreciate
all
that
you
do,
as
as
you
always
do
so
much
for
us.
We
really
appreciate
it
that
richardson.
Thank
you
so
much
so
we'll
move
on
to
our
community
updates.
If
we
have
any,
if
anyone
has
anything
they
want
to
report
out
on
as
far
as
a
community
update.
B
A
I'll
I'll
just
remind
everybody
what
susan
johnson
has
talked
about
a
couple
times.
The
south
carolina
7
is
the
the
walk
or
the
exploring
of
the
the
waterways
from
the
appalachians
down
to
the
atlantic,
and
that
has
started
this
past
weekend
and
they'll
be
down
in
the
lowcountry
area
later
on
the
last
week
of
july.
A
But
if
you
want
to
look
it
up,
look
up
south
carolina,
seven,
the
number
seven,
the
word
south
carolina,
the
number,
seven
dot
com
and-
and
you
can
see
where
what
kind
of
events
are
going
on
in
the
low
country
that
last
week,
there's
a
kayaking
and
and
some
some
nature
walks
around
just
to
explore
the
age
basin
area
and
all
so
wonderful
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
that.
Remind
everybody
about
your
we.
We
need
to
get
the
information
out
about
protective
sun
screening
and
and
hydration.
So
of
these
high
temperatures.
A
C
G
Thank
you
so
much
so
just
wanted
to
remind
folks
that
every
three
years,
our
regional
health
coalition,
healthy
tri-county,
performs
what's
called
a
community
health
needs
assessment
and
what
it
is.
It's
a
it's.
A
brief
survey
that
we're
we're
asking
everyone
in
the
community
to
fill
out
which
really
helps
guide
kind
of
the
work
of
our
health
coalition
around
what
the
biggest
health
priorities
are
for
our
community
members.
G
And
so
certainly
you
know
this
is
part
of
a
more
regional
assessment.
But
the
folks
within
the
city
of
charleston
are
certainly
an
important
part
of
that,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
the
folks
who
are
on
this.
Call
that
if
you
are
interested
in
getting
the
surveys
or
for
our
health
needs
assessment,
I'm
happy
to
send
them
out.
We
have
an
electronic
version
in
english
and
spanish
as
well
as
paper
copies
and
the
more
folks
that
we
can
get
across
all
socioeconomic
statuses
in
in
different
diversity
levels.
G
The
the
more
complete
kind
of
our
data
set
will
be
so
that
we
can
then
prioritize
our
work
efforts
over
the
next
three
to
five
years,
and
so
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
folks.
I'm
gonna
put
my
email
address
in
the
chat.
Please
contact
me
if
you
would
like
some
of
these
surveys
or
if
you
would
like
the
little
postcards
that
have
a
qr
code,
that
you
can
hand
out
to
folks
to
get
them
to
fill
that
out.
The
last
healthiness
assessment
that
we
performed
three
years
ago.
G
We
got
over
5000
responses
between
berkeley,
charleston
and
dorchester
county
and
so
we're
hoping
to
get
numbers
at
least
that
high
again
this
time
around.
So
once
again,
we
have
electronic
versions.
We
have
paper
versions,
we
have
some
incentives
tied
to
organizations
who
are
willing
to
help
us
get
this
survey
out
to
two
folks,
and
we
also
have
some
incentives
tied
to
individuals
who
can
take
the
time
and
effort
to
fill
this
out
for
us
and
then.
G
Lastly,
just
as
a
reminder,
you
know
we
don't
collect
this
data
and
then
not
go
back
to
the
communities
that
we're
collecting
this
data.
From
to
share
out
kind
of
what
the
plan
is
and
what
the
work
efforts
have
been,
and
so
we
kind
of
have
what's
called
a
road
show
once
we
collect
our
health
needs
assessment
data
where
we
can
go
then
share
out
what
things
look
like
on
the
community
level.
G
What
health
priorities
folks
are
are
facing
what
issues
they're
facing,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
let
this
group
know
that
in
the
coming
months,
once
we
collect
that
health
needs
assessment
data,
we
will
be
setting
up
what
are
called
kind
of
data
walks
where
folks
can
see
what
folks
are
reporting
and
the
one
distinction
between
a
community
health
needs,
assessment
and
kind
of
like
more
population.
Health
data
is
that
this
is
a
primary
data
collection.
This
is
coming
directly
from
folks
in
the
community
where
they're
saying
you
know
here.
G
G
D
And
yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody's
aware
of
something
else
we've
been
doing
since
the
80s
and
we
have
a
mental
health
task
force
that
meets
every
other
month.
I
think
it's
the
first
friday
of
the
month,
it's
this
friday.
Actually
it's
the
second
friday
of
the
month,
but
if
you
are
interested
in
joining,
let
me
know,
but
basically
it
includes
hospitals.
You
know,
homeless,
a
lot
of
different
agencies
working
with
the
homeless
population,
drug
and
alcohol
services.
D
We
have
probate
court
judges,
we
have
law
enforcement,
we
have
ems,
I
mean
basically
anybody
who's
interested
in
mental
health
needs
goals.
If
you
have
issues
or
questions
and
it's
kind
of
grown
over
the
years,
and
so
any
and
everybody
is
invited
and
we
basically
just
share.
What's
going
on
with
our
agencies
and
share
resources,
and
I
thought
of
you
jamie,
I
think
that
you
guys
are
coming
now,
but
but
really
anyone
who
would
like
to
get
information.
It's
a
wealth
of
information.
D
So,
if
you're
interested
in
joining,
please
just
send
me
an
email
and
we
can
include
you
to
the
list-
we're
obviously
still
doing
them
virtual,
but
we
used
to
do
them
in
person
and
one
day
we
hopefully
we'll
do
them
in
person
again
and
serve
breakfast.
But
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
because
it
occurred
to
me
it's
this
week
and
we'd
love
to
have
anybody.
That's
interested
in
kind
of
sharing
information
about
what
you
you're
doing
or
looking
for
information.
F
F
In
september
and
hope
to
really
focus
that
on
our
young
adults
in
in
the
charleston
tri-county
area,
so
more
to
come
on
that,
but
we
are
looking
for
a
location
and
looking
for
speakers
to
be
involved
and
would
love
any
and
all
of
you
interested
in
attending.
So
when
we
have
an
exact
date,
I'll,
let
you
know,
but
that
will
be
in
september.
B
Very
good,
thank
you.
Anyone
else
anything
else
before
we
adjourn
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
your
time.
I
appreciate
you
spending
some
time
with
us.
We're
halfway
through
the
year,
so
make
the
second
half
of
2022
a
good
one
want
to
thank
again,
of
course,
david
diana.
Remember
that
he
needs
some
volunteers.
B
Jennifer
needs
some
volunteers
there
for
the
lowcountry
mental
health
conference,
and
if
you
can't
volunteer,
if
you
can
attend,
you
know,
and
that
just
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
an
outstanding
event
and
remember
the
brain
health
challenge
with
jamie
roper
and
just
want
to
tell
you.
Thank
you.
I
hope
you
have
a
great
july
great
and
we
will.
We
will
see
you
the
first
wednesday
in
august
at
nine
o'clock,
if
we
don't
have
anything
else,
if,
if
not,
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
