Laura Sheffield, LCSW-C is the Social Work Supervisor for the Washington County Health Department, Division of Behavioral Health Services.   She is co-leader of Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) for Washington County.  ROSC is an initiative that provides an infrastructure for a supportive network of formal and informal services that will help mobilize long term recovery for those impacted by behavioral health. Traditionally, individuals seeking behavioral health services tend to go through the “wrong door” in accessing care and opportunities are missed in providing information, support, and referrals individuals are seeking. ROSC embraces the “No Wrong Door Policy” that we are striving to implement in our community; while, bridging the gap/relationship with those who are a part of the behavioral health system.

HARC meetings are typically held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 12:30 pm, except July and August, with an occasional evening meeting. When meeting in-person, the location typically rotates among different houses of faith, giving each member congregation an opportunity to host.  If in-person meetings are deemed unsafe for our members, they are held on Zoom.
