Lacey Herring currently serves as the Mental Health Program Director for the Multi-Systemic Therapy Program, which is part of the Behavioral Health Community Service Division of JPHSA. The Mental Health Program Director provides supervision and day-to-day oversight of the Mult-Systemic Therapy ("MST") Program. Ms. Herring works under the direction of the BHCS Clinical & Support Services Manager. The proposed contract consultant position is a Multisystemic System Consultant. The proposed post-employment contractor position would entail Ms. Herring assisting JPHSA and its affiliates in developing programs to effectively implement MST treatment model by providing training in the theory and application of MST to personnel, including clinicians, supervisors, administrators, and policymakers. The contract position does not require Ms. Herring to provide supervision or day-to-day oversight of the MST program. Ms. Herring would have no oversight over anything related to JPHSA's MST program; the contractor position entails Ms. Herring providing training and consultation for external agencies that JPHSA contracts with but not JPHSA's internal MST program.
