The decision to create a Chemical Health Work Group was made in response to the
January 2006 review of the results of the United Way Community Needs Assessment,
in which the Collaborative participated.  The Chemical Health Work Group was funded
as a systems work group, rather than a project work group, and was created to address
the chemical health and aftercare needs of chemically dependent youth and their families. 
In addition, the work group was asked to identify the strengths as well as needs and gaps
in local services, and report back to the Collaborative on issues that could be addressed
in a collaborative fashion.  The group also spent time sharing information about each
other’s programs which is encouraging growth and consistency among the local agencies
that are involved with chemical health initiatives.   


The core
mission of this group is to enhance service delivery and interagency collaboration
in order to promote healthy drug free environments throughout Otter Tail County.
