Kelly Griffin —TAY Clinician
Despite being one of the most available and helpful clinical
staff at the office, Kelly still manages to stay on top of her
documentation in a timely manner. She is eager to learn and
to help others learn. She sees what needs to be done and
simply does it
Kelly is always willing to step in to help whenever an access
call, walk-in, new referral, or new assessment comes her way.
She is friendly and always has an open door available to fellow
staff members who need to consult, chat, cry, or debrief.
Kelly is an incredible employee and an asset to not only the
Lompoc Children's Clinic but the SBC BWell family. We're
lucky to have her!
Dipak is positive, approachable, and
dedicated to resolving problems
quickly. He is patient and willing to
teach others and share information.
He takes time to explain the prob-
lem and finds options to resolve
them. Dipak takes initiative in re-
searching problems and gathering
data. He works well with colleagues
and consults with them when need-
ed. Dipak is very knowledgeable in
his work. He maintains a profession-
al and calm demeanor in stressful
and urgent matters.

Kisha had multiple nominations in this Quarter 2 STAR

Engagement Committee Staff Appreciation Day in 2016. She is
very available for the clients, their families, the clinical team
and core clinic. Kisha always has a positive and "I can do it"
attitude. She goes above her responsibilities as SPIRIT facilita-
tor and has been involved in the Change Agent, Children's
System of Care, and the Employee Engagement and Apprecia-
tion Committee. Kisha is always volunteering to help around
the clinic. She goes above and beyond to organize activities
and events for clients and families, provide inspiring individual
care and case support, and works as a great team player. She
has assisted employees at the clinic with the ever evolving
changes such as the TBS referrals and accepts referrals to the
SPIRIT program even when they are over capacity. She always
has a smile and a good attitude. Kisha is always helping out
team members in taking on cases and never complains about
her caseload. In addition, she gets along with everybody. Kisha
is always looking for a challenge in her role as a clinician and is
a self-motivator. She is a great team leader and a great em-
ployee to be around.
