Description
I had a wonderful time chatting with Chuck Price. Chuck is a former health and human services director, changemaker entrepreneur/business owner, and more. Chuck Price has filled leadership roles in...
show moreAs a DHHS Director, Chuck led his department on a successful and transformational journey from traditional compliance-based practice to becoming a legitimate trauma-informed agency. As a result of his work, recruitment, retention, agency health, and case outcomes dramatically improved. Under his leadership, overall numbers of children living in congregate care were significantly reduced and, at one point, even dropped to zero! Chuck's results and process gained recognition across the state, the country, and internationally.
Chuck and the team he led in that county were selected as one of five jurisdictions in the U.S. to participate in a 3-year Innovation Cohort. This resulted in a 12% overall decrease in youth in foster care and a 37% average decrease in youth in residential facilities. Recognition of Chuck's leadership didn't stop there — from 2016-2018; his peers elected him to serve as the President of the Wisconsin County Human Services Association. During Chuck's tenure as President, he led the association through an Organizational Effectiveness (OE) process focused on the association's infrastructure and leadership development for Directors statewide.
Chuck and the cohesive team he built are living proof that a trauma-informed culture within a county DHHS can be achieved. With exemplary leadership, thriving culture can grow to create a place where staff incorporates hope and joy into their work daily. This environment results in incredible outcomes for the children, families, and individuals served. This transformation is possible — and Chuck can help you achieve it.
Chuck started Blue Collar Consulting to broaden the impact of lessons learned so you don't have to start at the beginning. His passion is to help support brave leaders in their professional growth and development and to use his real-world experience to assist organizations in their trauma-informed cultural transformations.
