KMHS Foster Care Program Certified Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care Program Reaches Milestone   The Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care (MTFC) Program at Kitsap Mental Health Services has recently been recognized as meeting criteria necessary for official certification.  The agency’s evidence-based program provides intensive services for at-risk youth and their families in Kitsap, Clallam, and Jefferson counties.  This culmination of an extensive three-year certification process is a milestone demonstrating that the local program is successfully implementing the MTFC model. Since 2006, the agency’s program has placed twenty-two youth ages 12 to 17 years in the homes of specially trained, licensed foster parents who work in cooperation with the MTFC clinical staff to help youth rebuild their lives and reunify with their families.  Multi-Dimensional Treatment Foster Care is known as an effective, structured alternative to long-term inpatient care for youth with serious mental and behavioral health issues.  The MTFC program at Kitsap Mental Health Services is a pilot project funded by the Washington State Mental Health Division.   More information about the MTFC program is available by contacting program supervisor Carol Lambias at (360) 479-4994.   

New facility designed to meet the needs of Seattle and Kitsap County lawyers and other professionals

Business Confluence, LLC announced today the opening of a professional meeting facility next to the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal at Eagle Harbor. The new meeting facility is designed to meet the needs of Seattle, Kitsap County and Jefferson County lawyers, architects, accountants and other professionals requiring a private meeting location and executive-level amenities.

“Finding a convenient, quiet and professional space to meet with our clients has been a challenge in the past,” said Lee Tucker, Attorney-At-Law, The Tucker Law Firm. “The location of the Business Confluence meeting facility is perfect. It is easy for our clients to get to and the on-site staff is always there to help.”Business Confluence’s professional meeting facility includes three rooms equipped with secure high speed wireless Internet access, digital projectors, conference phones and whiteboards, plus access to on-site administrative support, beverage service and fax and copy machines.

“Business Confluence is the ideal location for small workshops,” said Joanna Smith, CEO of Healthcare Liaison, Inc. “The meeting facility has wonderful accessibility from the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal, and an efficient staff that anticipates our needs and recommends services to ensure our workshops run without a hitch.”“I am thrilled with the level of interest in our professional meeting facility,” said Gale Kirsopp, owner of Business Confluence. “We’ve heard from lawyers that need to take depositions, architects that want a quiet and clean space to review designs, virtual teams that periodically meet in person, and even groups that conduct small group seminars. The number of professionals looking for high quality, affordable meeting space that is convenient to Seattle and Kitsap County appears to be on the rise.”Committed to giving back to the local community, Business Confluence plans to launch a program later this year to donate a percentage of revenues to one or more area non-profits.

About Business Confluence: Business Confluence provides professional meeting facilities on an hourly, half-day or full-day basis at a convenient and prestigious location next to the ferry dock on Bainbridge Island. Business Confluence offers on-site administrative support staff dedicated to making client meetings run smoothly, as well as ad hoc clerical support.  The company serves professional clients such as lawyers, architects and accountants from Seattle, Kitsap County and Jefferson County.  For more information, visit http://www.businessconfluence.com, email info@businessconfluence.com, or call (206) 842-4700.

Purple is not simply a popular trend in fashion. This color of royalty, dubbed the "new black" by fashionistas, is also the new black in food.

In produce aisles, at farmers markets and on restaurant menus, you can now find a growing array of heirloom and specialty vegetables with a distinctive purple hue - purple potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, beans, corn, asparagus, peppers, baby artichokes and cauliflower.
