Thank you for continuing to receive public comments on the proposed CPST regulations.

"CANS Lifetime"? 

*When will this tool be fully developed and released for review?

*Will the CANS replace the CNA, or is CANS expected to be completed in addition to the CNA? 

EBP Providers?

EBP service providers are scarce.  As such, what is the plan when EBP providers are simply not available or have an extensive waiting list?  This will delay care to those in need of mental health treatment.

MAP?

*Significant concerns remain regarding the limited training, training timeline, additional software/programming/system requirements, and additional costs incurred by those who attempt CPST service provision.  

Clinical Director, LMHP Clinical Supervisor, & LMHP Roles

*There is a great deal of duplication/overlap in the roles & requirements of these positions; these should be better defined and more streamlined so as to increase efficiencies and not create undue burden on the CPST provider agency.   

Respectfully Submitted,

Paulette Skapars, RBHA Director, Child & Family Services
