Section 5: Required Service Components
 

Section: 5.2 Treatment Planning

  • Requirement for ISP to be signed by all team members is overly restricted and not required in most, if not, any other service.
  • Required participation by all members face to face/in person is further over-restriction that exceeds the requirements in most, if not, any other service.

      Section: 5.3 Crisis Support

  • It seems unethical and risky to not be able to include the established crisis continuum of care in crisis plans.  Individuals should have access to the right help at the right time when in crisis and be able to include all options in safety plan.
  • Further, requiring in-person support by a CPST team member before referring to the established crisis continuum could lead to a disservice to the individual by delaying access to care and could be risky and unethical.
