This site has been developed for all the stakeholders in the North Sound Region to begin a dialogue on the progress of the pilot.  We have tried to be as inclusive as possible, however, if you notice gaps or missing links, please let us know as soon as possible.

Before we begin, we would like to set a few ground rules for our ongoing discussions:

• Please - No HIPAA violations.  Do not include any identifying information on consumers.  Be mindful of small communities and how easily persons can be identified.
• Be professional, no profanity or disrespectful language.
• We want to hear what is not working and what is working
• We encourage you to submit ideas for problem solving and/or to improve what is working.

We are proud of the partnership with the North Cascade Secure Detox and the North Sound Mental Health Administration.  We want to thank everyone that has been a part of the planning phases for the pilot.  It has been a true collaboration of agencies, individuals, and communities.

Our deepest appreciation goes out to the following:
