Crisis Intervention Services
 

Consider removing the requirement for the Comprehensive Needs Assessment for crisis intervention and 30 days of short term crisis counseling contacts.  This would create a venue to improve outcomes with crisis situations; preventing or reducing a cycle of episodes related to the same stressor.

Related to crisis intervention, please specify what services Certified PreScreeners are able to perform to meet these guidelines.  At some places in chapter IV  LHMP (types) only are referenced as providers; and at other places LHMP (types) and Certified PreScreeners are both referenced.  Are there some crisis intervention services Certified PreScreeners are not eligible to provide?
