MHSS Clincian
 

 

I am a MHSS clinician and am concerned that we will no longer be able being to meet with our clients for 5 hours sessions. There are times when my clients need to attend a medical or mental health appointment that is in another city, (an hour or so away).  Some of my clients have serious medical needs and benefit from having me at their appointments to advocate for them. These appointments can be sometimes be long when testing, etc. is required. There are times when 3 hours would not meet the needs of the client. Thank you for your consideration.
