The meeting began with a review of the draft regulations that Trey prepared for SB489. Here are the edits to that document. Luana confirmed that HCQC will take the council’s recommendations when writing the regulations for SB489.

Person-Directed Recovery

Person-centered recovery is directed, as much as possible by the person – including decisions about who should be included in the process.  The planning identifies just a few small, but meaningful, short-term changes that the individual can focus on helping to reduce some of the barriers or challenges moving forward.  Person centered care should be central to all recovery frameworks.
