Separate and distinct licenses for crisis services
 

 

I also recommend separate and distinct licenses for the crisis services listed below in order to clarify staff training requirements, team compositions, and to maintain fidelity to the services outlined.

Specific Comments:

1. Pg. 9 Paragraph 1: Recommend the following licenses:

a. Crisis Receiving Center

b. Community-based Stabilization

c. Mobile Crisis Response

d. Emergency Services

e. REACH Mobile Response and Stabilization

f. REACH Crisis Therapeutic Home

g. Crisis Stabilization Unit

2. Pg. 9 Paragraph 3: Pre-admission screening and Emergency Services should be properly defined under a unique license to reflect the codified responsibilities and training unique to this service.

Thank you
