Building Bridges Initiatives

Six Core Strategies

The Collier Residential Program follows the Six Core Strategies through the National Association of State Mental Health Program and Directors (NASMPD). The Six Core Strategies is a program design that works through trauma-informed approaches such as the Sanctuary Model and NHA. The Collier Residential Program Team embraces the Six Core Strategies to help us understand that we cannot take trauma away, but we can reframe and reset ourselves and help our youth. The list of the Six Core Strategies are as follows:

• Leadership toward organizational change
• Use data to inform practices
• Develop our workforce
• Implement seclusion/restraint prevention tools (Collier never implements seclusion or restraint)
• Full inclusion of service users, Youth and Family, in all activities
• Debriefing

 

Continuous Quality Improvement

Collier Youth Services and the Collier Residential Program are committed to continuous quality improvement. Our team reviews on a quarterly basis access to services, effectiveness of services, experience of those we serve, and accessibility of services. 

 

Feedback

We welcome feedback with the use of surveys and responses from our youth, families, caregivers, treatment providers, and others with whom we interact on a biannual basis.
