The SMART Team A 2017—2018 GLENN COUNTY GRAND JURY REPORT ABSTRACT A SMART Team is a multi-agency team that responds to critical school incidents as well as young adults needing support in a day and age where the need is most evident. They also provide preventative service to our county’s parents and guardians. P AGE | 105 GRAND JURY FINALREPORT | THE SMART TEAM Glenn County Grand Jury Report | SMART Team THE SMART TEAM: Aptly name and a smart idea for Glenn County SMART Team SUMMARY The SMART Team is a recent addition to Glenn County, courtesy of a grant from the California State Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC). This multi- agency team has, since its inception in 2014, proven to be an asset to the community. With this team being supported and operational, it will benefit the citizens of this county. GLOSSARY SMART – Acronym for System-wide Mental Health Assessment and Response Treatment MHSOAC – Acronym for Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission and can be found at www.mhsoac.ca.gov/ PURPOSE To understand the purpose and intent of the SMART team. BACKGROUND Originating with the Glenn County Office of Education in 2014, the idea of the SMART Team was formed, targeting an Innovative Program grant offered by the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission. The SMART Team was loosely modeled after Los Angeles County’s SMART Team, but renamed and adapted to the needs and resources of Glenn County, a less populous and more rural community. Representatives from each of the various agencies who would be in- volved in the SMART Team operation were involved with the development of the grant proposal that was approved on August 14, 2014. The grant was for a three-year funding of $816,344 and has been renewed once for three more years. As described and spotlighted by MHSOAC on their official website, www.mhsoac.ca.gov/, “the SMART Team is a collaborative multi-agency team that responds quickly and efficiently to critical school incidents such as school threats, suicidal behavior, violence, and bullying. SMART uses proven practices to address school threats and suicidal behavior; prevent bullying; and provides on- going services to resolve identified issues. Through the presentation, the SMART Team listed their prevention Strategies as: • Deliver prevention activities that promote self-esteem and suicide awareness. • Support a “No Bullying” culture – which includes both youth and adults. • Train staff on best practices of how to respond to threats, suicide, and bullying behaviors. • Involve stakeholders in all phases – even students! • Assess school climate for bullying, and support each school’s policy and procedures regard- ing threats and bullying. P AGE | 106 GRAND JURY FINALREPORT | THE SMART TEAM Glenn County Grand Jury Report | SMART Team The Glenn County Mental Health Services, and SMART Team, provided data showing reasons youths have been referred since the SMART Team was put into action in January 2015. Between the three categories regarding harm to themselves, others, and wanting to harm them- selves as well as others, 62 students were identified and referred to the SMART team for services. The causes of such behaviors were not provided. METHODOLOGY The members of the SMART Team gave a thorough presentation to the entire Grand Jury highlight- ing their teamwork and describing their challenges. They exhibited a strong degree of cooperation between their respective agencies and disciplines, including school designees, Probation, the Sher- iff’s office and Mental Health. They presented a clear picture of how incidents are handled, and demonstrated the effectiveness and benefits of having a rapid-response crisis team available to ad- dress the ever-growing problem of school and community violence. They also demonstrated how their rapid response can lead to some individuals getting help and services that they need, for the safety and welfare of both themselves and others. DISCUSSION Examples of real cases were provided delineating the methods of response, including a recent case that happened in November, 2017, showing how the situation was contained and neutralized. The SMART team includes Mental Health staff, law enforcement, probation, and school designees. Each school is in the process of developing school response teams. These teams include school P AGE | 107 GRAND JURY FINALREPORT | THE SMART TEAM Glenn County Grand Jury Report | SMART Team counselors, school psychologist, principals, vice principals, and other key staff. Services offer a wide array of prevention activities and support, crisis response, community threat response, screening, assessment, early identification of school violence, case management monitoring and clinical ser- vices.” FINDINGS and RECOMMENDATIONS Findings Recommendations
