ITEM: 2
DEPARTMENT: Aging PRESENTER(S): Annette Crumpton, Bunnie Brush
CONTACT(S): Annette Crumpton, Bunnie Brush
SUBJECT:
Approval to Submit aThree-Year Renewal Grant Application to the Corporation for National Service
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Department of Aging requests permission to submit athree-year renewal grant application to the
Corporation for National Service to fund the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) 2009-2012.
Each year RSVP recruits, monitors and places 1,100+ senior volunteers in over 80 non-profit and public
agencies in New Hanover County. RSVP volunteers are serving in 10 County departments and over 70 community stations. RSVP stations include: VITA Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program,
Senior
Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP), Disaster Preparedness - NHC At Risk/Special Needs
Registry, Emergency Management, and the Government Center. Last year RSVP volunteers provided
249,735 hours of service to over 315,000 people at a value of $4,872,330 to our community. The actual cost
to the County to serve these persons is 33 cents per person. These services are possible because of the FREE
time and experience that are provided by RSVP volunteers. Without RSVP these programs would not exist and the New Hanover County citizens on fixed incomes would not have a resource for
this help. Senior
volunteers are a bank of talent and skills, providing staff and experienced workers to assist the host agencies.
The Corporation for National Service Grant is available in the amount of $134,826 per year with renewal up
to three years 2009-2012. The County match is $100,969 per year. This match is included in the 2010
requested budget. RSVP has been a part of the Dept. of Aging since 1983.
The complete grant application is available for review in the County Manager's Office.

New Hanover County Detention Facility/New Hanover County Sheriff's Department. The position will be

Approval to Submit Grant Letter of Intent to Cape Fear Memorial Foundation (CFMF)
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The Child Service Coordination Program (CSCP) in Personal Health Services was awarded funds from Cape
Fear Memorial Foundation over the past two years for Family (In-Home) Counseling Services. These funds
have been used to start the program with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides counseling to at-risk families through CSCP. These families have young children who need
intervention for
behavioral health problems and there are barriers to accessing mental health services. Billing revenues are
also supporting the program to some extent. The Letter of Intent to Apply for a third year of funding from
CFMF would supplement revenues until the program is self supporting. No matching County funds are
required. This grant currently funds afull-time LCSW position, which would be discontinued if the grant
and revenues from billing cannot sustain it. No changes would be made to the existing position if awarded continuation funds. The projected budget for this program for next year is $50,000
CFMF and $36,000 of
billing revenue.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Approve Letter of Intent to apply for grant funds from CFMF for $50,000 for the Family (In-
Home) Counseling Services for FY 09-10.

Mr. Garris, President
Cape Fear Memorial Foundation
2508 Independence Blvd. Suite 200
Wilmington, N. C. 28412
Dear Mr. Garris:
Thank you for continuing to support New Hanover County Health Department programs. With
your support we enjoyed success with several programs and look forward to continued success with our
In Home Counseling Program. Since Susan Henley joined our team, the impact for families in New
Hanover County has been access to counseling services that would have otherwise not been readily
available.
Susan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with sixteen years of clinical and management
experience in community mental health in the Cape Fear area. She has experience providing a variety of mental health services to our most vulnerable and difficult-to-serve population.
She also has the
knowledge necessary to build a clinically and fiscally sound program.
This grant has afforded us the opportunity to create a program aimed at treating and preventing
mental health/behavioral concerns through proven clinical interventions. Further, barriers to therapy have
been minimized, as services are offered in the home. Outcomes have been positive in efforts to reach at-
risk children as early as possible to help them build the social and emotional skills necessary to enter
school ready to learn.
While the program at this point is not financially solvent, we have experienced a steady increase
in referrals and families engaging in the program. Expectation is for a self supportive program. We are requesting that our program be considered for a third year of funding, as we continue
to work toward self
sufficiency. We would like to apply for $50,000 for the 2009-2010 budget year to supplement the revenue
being billed for Susan's services.
Attached is a summary of the children referred for In Home Counseling from 11 / 10/07 through 3/6/09.
Thank you for your consideration of third year continued funding of the In-Home Counseling Program,
while we work toward a self sustaining program.
Sincerely,
Janet McCumbee, RN B SN

III. PROBLEMS IDENTIFIEDIREC~MMENDATIaNS IACTIgNS TAKEN
l . PRUBLEM: Two separate incidents that involved motor vehicles and pedestrians in a
high traffic area.
REC~MMENDATIaN: Due to the growth of New Hanover County there is a need to
create a safer situation for pedestrians to access community resources and shopping
centers from heavily populated housing developments.
ACTIN TAKEN; The local newspaper was contacted to address the concern of
pedestrians walking in high traffic areas. The newspaper did not publish any article in
response to the concern. Outreach was completed during the Safe Kids Campaign,
"Walk to School",
2. PROBLEM: The team continues to identify a concern that the New Hanover County
Health Department is not being notified of all SIDS deaths.
RECaMMENDATI~NS; To continue to work with local medical examiners to report all
suspected SIDS deaths to the trained SIDS counselor at the Health Department for follow
up with families per State guidelines.
Healthy ~'eople, Healthy Environment, Healthy Community"
Board of Commissioners Meeting n~ ~~n~~nna
v-r/ 1~1 v/ Lvv-f 5-1-2
ACTIN TAKEN: In addition to the existing Certified SIDS Counselor, a second New
Hanover County Health Department Social Worker has completed training as a Certified
SIDS Counselor in 2008. She is involved with children in the community and is
bilingual. Since her certification she has collaborated with the Medical Examiner to
review notification protocol. This SIDS counselor is also developing a resource for low
income families to obtain a Pack n' Play at no cost in an effort to provide a safe sleeping
environment for infants, This initiative may prevent roll over deaths from adults and
. m ants co-sleeping,
3, PROBLEM; For child deaths that occur during breaks from school, there is a gap in grief
services provided to families, peers and school staff.
REC~MMENDATI4N: Enhance the existing Community Crisis Response Team by
connecting with other crisis response teams to identify gaps and develop a plan to
coordinate all services and programs. These groups may include Red Cross, New
Hanover Regional Medical Center, and the New Hanover County SIDS counselors. A
second goal is to develop a protocol for law enforcement to notify appropriate team or
teams when indicated,
ACTIaN TAKEN; The school representative team member, who is also part of the
Community Crisis Response Team, will initiate outreach to the other known crisis
response teams.
A~]DITI~NAL ACTIVITIES
• A portion of the team coordinated with the local Child watch Committee
entitled, "The Ripple Effect-women and Drug Abuse." The forum was held on
April 29, 2008, to provide information to professionals in the community,
• Members of the Team participated in a local State Fatality Review. A State
Review is conducted when the family has been involved with the Department of
Social Services ~DSS}before the death.
• The CFPT chairperson has been selected as part of a team from applicants across
the country to participate in the 2009 PREVENT Preventing Violence through
Education, Networking and Technical Assistance} Institute. This group is a
component of the National Training Initiative for injury and violence prevention.
The focus of the 2009 Institute will be: Enhancing Leadership for Child
Maltreatment Prevention.
• The NHC CFPT receives a small amount of funds annually from the Department
of Health and Human Services ~DHHS~. During the 2008/2009 year, funding
will be allocated for the purchase of smoke detectors for the community to be
installed by the local fire departments. Funds from the 2007/2008 fiscal year
were used to purchase car seats.
