Dear DICLC List serve,
I would like to personally thank Alison, Jackie, Tedra, Jeremy, April, Rey and Daintry for participating on our first DICLC List serve call. I am grateful for all your work in this area and look forward to
supporting you and your Councils. If you missed the first call, you will not want to miss the second. This is a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge and resources, ask and answer questions and dialogue with others that have invested in the area of improving
the cultural and linguistic work of Councils. Please join us in April by answering the Doodle poll below or contact me directly. When you see list serve questions/requests please feel free to respond!

The understanding of how to provide services and supports to people who are dual diagnosed continues to deepen and expand. In this data brief we examine National Core Indicators™ (NCI™) data from 2017-2018 to explore
the characteristics and outcomes of people with dual diagnoses with the hope that it will add to a growing body of knowledge -
What Do NCI Data Reveal About People
Who Are Dual Diagnosed with ID and Mental Illness?
I have also attached the meeting notes and PowerPoint from our call. If you have any edits to the notes, please let me know.
