Congratulations to the Panhandle Situation Table for Receiving the Promising Practice Award
O2SL and QRT National would like to congratulate the Nebraska-based Panhandle Situation Table for receiving the distinguished Promising Practice Award, an annual recognition for demonstrated approaches and strategies of local public health programs that have set these programs on track to become Model Practices, as presented by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). The Panhandle Situation Table is comprised of multiple agencies such as Law Enforcement, First Responders, Mental Health Professionals, Social Services, Schools, Hospitals, and Community Support Services that collaborate to rapidly triage Acutely Elevated Risk situations to connect individuals and families to much needed support, reaching those who may be at highest levels of composite risk in the community or often fall through the cracks in the system. The Panhandle Situation Table program will be added to NACCHO’s Model Practice online database, which is accessible to other public health officials looking for best practices

O2SL & QRT National Partner with The Global Network for Community Safety to Bring the Situation Table Model to the U.S.
O2SL and QRT National is pleased to announce its partnership with The Global Network for Community Safety to bring their combined expertise to bear to provide states, counties, and communities comprehensive, collaborative solutions to address issues such as substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health disorders (MHD) impacting the U.S. Together these two firms assist local communities in mobilizing a multi-agency community response to help vulnerable populations at acutely elevated risk by intervening to connect them to a tailored suite of comprehensive services within 24-48 hours, thereby reducing their overall risk. These collaborative solutions are presented in the form of the Situation Table or HUB model (from out of Canada) with representatives from multiple human services sectors. This model also serves to help communities identify service gaps and areas in need of reform. Since 2010, this model has been implemented in over 100 communities across the U.S. and Canada.
