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.
