Board hears proposal for HEART for Youth referral program; trustees request procedures and data safeguards
Summary
Partnership Douglas County presented the HEART for Youth referral program connecting students to behavioral health resources; board members asked for procedures and data-handling details and no action was taken.
Representatives from Partnership Douglas County described the HEART for Youth Program to the board as a referral program intended to connect students and families to behavioral health assessments and services and to collect program data to attract additional resources. Presenters said the program is not a direct treatment provider and described partnerships with local agencies, including the sheriff’s office and Tahoe Carson Health.
Trustee Markus Zinke voiced concern about referral procedures and potential family pushback if staff make referrals. In response, a presenter said, "they won’t give out names," when asked about privacy and data sharing. Trustees requested written procedures and data protocols; Daria Singer agreed to provide the requested materials. The board took no formal action on the interagency agreement at this meeting.
