Hello Everyone
We are trying to change an arbitrary and outdated requirement in our MN state statute for CMHC designation. The current requirement mandates that -
(b) The provider provides mental health services under the clinical supervision of a mental health professional who is licensed for independent practice at the doctoral level or by a board-certified psychiatrist or a psychiatrist who is eligible for board certification.
We are trying to change this (just not enough of these providers to go around) so our CMHCs aren't in jeopardy because they cannot comply. And, we are running into big pushback from the guilds.
Does anyone have state standards that are a better fit you'd be willing to share, please?
Thank you All!
