After reading the VA Draft Service Definition, I have several concerns about the CPST proposal.  First of all, my concern is the state wide shortage of applicants in this profession.  I also noticed that CSAC-A positions were not mentioned and a majority of the SUD case managers in our CSB are CSAC-A s, not CSAC or CSAC supervisees.  The entire proposal appears to have unrealistic expectations and does not read as though it is person centered as my fear is that the individual’s needs or goals will be lost in the bureaucracy of these tiers.  I completely agree with Diane Farlow’s extremely well written comment posted on 12/30/24.
