ABOUT THE AWARD

 

This award recognizes a service team that embodies passion, dedication, and creativity when providing services to people with co-occurring severe mental illness and substance use disorders. It recognizes those who consistently go above and beyond the expectations of the Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) model and, in doing so, raise the standard for exceptional care.

 

This award is presented annually by the Ohio SAMI CCOE in memory of Lynn Goff, whose life—and daily work in Fayette and Highland Counties, Ohio—embodied the principles of the IDDT model.

WHO IS LYNN GOFF?

 

Goff photoLynn Goff was the IDDT team leader at the Scioto Paint Valley Mental Health Center (SPVMHC) in Greenfield, Ohio. She had spent 30 years working in Ohio’s prison system and was recruited out of retirement in 2002 to help start an IDDT Criminal Justice SAMI Re-entry Program. The start-up program was funded by the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati. Ms. Goff died tragically in an automobile accident in the summer of 2006.

 

During its first year of operation, with Ms. Goff’s leadership, the IDDT/SAMI Re-entry team achieved a number of significant outcomes. Read about it in the Fall 2005 issue of the Ohio SAMI CCOE's newsletter (see below).
