Discussion

New psychotropic medication manual for 245D service providers

The committee finished some of the handouts but will continue reviewing the remaining ones at the November meeting.

Review of the committee’s 2020 Olmstead recommendations

Committee members reviewed their 2020 Olmstead recommendations and noted:

· The EPRC recommends continuing to focus their technical assistance on each person’s wellness and quality of life. Improved quality of life has been shown to reduce the occurrence of interfering behaviors.

· Committee members are working on quality of life content within the new psychotropic medication manual.

· The committee continues to receive updates on workforce shortage initiatives because quality of life is related to receiving supports as needed.
