Collaborative Operating Policies

The Collaborative has established key operational policies to guide and support its collective work. The policies are followed by Collaborative leadership, committees, contracted staff, parents & caregivers as well as community members. These policies are aligned with the Collaborative Bylaws.

If you have any questions or concerns about Collaborative decisions or actions, please contact our Collaborative Coordinator or Member of the Governance Committee to share these concerns and seek resolution.

Code of Conduct

A code of conduct encourages the development of a spirit of collective decision-making, shared objectives, and shared ownership of the purpose and mission of the Hennepin County Children’s Mental Health Collaborative (HCCMHC). HCCMHC recognizes that contracted staff and persons involved in governance activities are leaders, models, and representatives of the Collaborative.  

All persons involved in the Collaborative are expected to conduct themselves in such a way that their personal and professional conduct does not have a negative effect on services or reflect badly on HCCMHC’s public image, reputation, or credibility.
