the negative response-

wow i'm honestly shocked by your suggestion it'sincredibly short-sighted to imply that the medical clinicisn't necessary or that my department therapy servicesis overstaffed frankly i don't appreciate the constantundermining of the work of my client that my team doeswe are here managing complex client needspicking up a slack of other departmentsthat can't get their stuff done if you spendmore time understanding the trauma of our clientsand what they're dealing with and lesstime analyzing spreadsheets, youmight see the value we actually bring.Maybe instead of cutting staff, you shouldbe looking at where the actualinsufficiencies are because it's not with us.

The positive

Good morning. I'd like to take a moment toaddress suggestions regarding the medical clinicand the staffing levels within therapy services.While I understand that resources are tight andwe're all being asked to think about efficiencies,I want to offer a broader perspective.Therapy Services Team is not just responding toroutine needs. We are managing crisis intervention,trauma-informed care, and long-termtherapy plans that directly affect ourclients' ability to save lives and thrive.Cutting staff in this department risks disruptingcontinuity of care and undermining the progresswe've made with these high-risk populations.With that being said, I'm open to workingcollaboratively to explore operational datathat supports sustainabilityacross all of the departments.Perhaps we could form a small taskgroup to review client outcomes,case load ratios,and integration between medicaland therapeutic services.I believe there are ways to optimize both areaswithout compromising quality or mission alignment.Ultimately, our shared goal is to upholdPeople First San Diego's commitmentto dignity and holistic care.I'd welcome the opportunity to revisit thisconversation once we've engaged in more thoroughreview together. Thank you for your time.
