Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your board's Strategic Plan providing community-appropriate levels of service and creating opportunities for improved safety and health.
Area of Focus: Safe & Healthy Communities
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
Extra help staff are used for special projects, vacations and leaves of absence and expertise in meeting mandates. The experience and training of Brianna Penner necessitate the extension of hours.
The extension of extra help hours will allow for continued operations and client service delivery while accommodating the needs of permanent positions to perform special projects and/or utilize benefit time, as well as cover for vacancies. Needed client care includes the direct service to roughly 20 youth, a well-attended weekly group therapy, and coverage of the Department of Health and Human Services - Transition Age Youth (TAY) drop in space.
