ACT changes
 

Requiring the team to be the first line crisis evaluator is going to result in potential staff turnover. I would recommend allowing teams to triage with Emergency Services for crisis contacts.

For staff requirements, we have some staff that are LMHP-E, but are not registered as a QMHP.  I would recommend allowing LMHP-E staff to fill these positions in addition to QMHP.
