Council Member Linda Lee seeks clarification on DOHMH's involvement in the B-HEARD program, noting a discrepancy between DOHMH's statements and information on the OCMH website.

DOHMH consistently states they are not involved in B-HEARD operations
OCMH website indicates a direct partnership with DOHMH and H+H for B-HEARD
Acting Commissioner Michelle Morse promises to follow up with more information to clarify the apparent contradiction

Actually can I just follow-up on that because I know that at every DOHMH hearing when we ask about Be Heard, the response is that you guys are not involved in that, but then on the OCMH website it says that they're working in direct partnership with you and H and H?

1:42:45

So if someone could clarify that that'd be great because I know OCMH is supposed to be overseeing it but I can't understand how they possibly would not be coordinating with you guys on this And maybe I'm just not getting it.

1:42:58

I don't know.

Michelle Morse
