APAC UPDATES Mark Germann

Disaster Mental Health Training Alliance and the members of its Provider Network share in the responsibility to respond to the behavioral health needs of our communities in the event of a declared disaster. To facilitate this response we are working with the American Red Cross to offer Psychological First Aid and Disaster Mental Health Fundamentals training in March. All fully-licensed LCSWs, LPCs and LMFTs in the Provider Network are encouraged to participate in the training (only fully-licensed LCSWs, LPCs and LMFTs are eligible).

Contract Update Alliance will begin to send out Medicaid contracts using DocuSign, mid-April with all Medicaid contracts out by June 1. We will put out an announcement when State contracts will be sent out. Please ensure that Alliance has the appropriate contact information(Name and Email) of who has the authority to sign the Provider Contract. Please send any updates utilizing the Notice of Change. This will help ensure Alliance is able to get provider contracts to the right people.
