providers' use of established best practices, conducted and compiled data from focus groups, presented this information to the Statewide Leadership Council which
resulted in the establishment of the top 5 issues related to adolescent
chemical dependency treatment, and
addressed workforce development issues related to recruitment, retention
and training.
