Community Advisory Committee (CAC)
Community Advisory Committee (CAC)
Purpose:
The purpose of the Community Advisory Committee is to have school, parent and youth voices to help build awareness, School Wellness Program identity, and review policies and services.
Meetings:
The CAC must include a mix of school staff, SW staff, parents, youth and others to ensure that the school population is represented.
At least 2 meetings per year. Likely more in the beginning as the SW program is being developed.
Meetings may be in-person or virtual.
Decisions are made by consensus, as appropriate.
Key Responsibilities of CAC members:
Serve as a liaison between students, parents and SW staff:
Be a credible source of information about SW services.
Talk to parents/students/staff about SW services to build awareness.
Gather feedback from parents/students/staff to assess satisfaction with services, program improvements, or other ideas for improving the health and wellbeing of students.
Provide input on "branding", or the creation of the SW health center identity.
Share ideas for making clinic spaces welcoming to all students.
Review policies and documents, as required by MDHHS.
Provide input on health focus areas of concern to facilitate program planning, e.g. vaping, nutrition, bullying, depression.
