Children's Mental Health
Local Advisory Council (LAC)
One of the responsibilities of collaboratives is to encourage and facilitate work between agencies and
programs. Otter Tail County has been well-served by a number of formal and informal interagency groups. All are being invited to 'come under the Collaborative umbrella' in order to improve communication and reduce duplication. This invitation has been accepted by the
Fergus Falls Area Interagency Early Intervention (IEIC), which provides service coordination for the families of children ages birth-5 with disabilities,
Children's Mental Health Local Advisory Council (LAC), which coordinates and promotes services to children with mental health issues, and
Community Transition Interagency Committee (CTIC), which coordinates transition services for those with disabilities ages 14-21.
LAC and CTIC have now integrated their planning and budgets with the Collaborative and utilize the Collaborative Coordinators in the same way as other work
groups.

For more information regarding the
activities of the LAC, contact
Jodi Wentland, Work Group
Member, at 218-998-8211.
For more information regarding other
activities of the Otter Tail Family Services Collaborative contact the
Collaborative Coordinator
