July 1st, 2021 marked the start of NC Medicaid Transformation with the transition to Standard Care Plans. NC DHHS has begun the process of preparing for Tailored Care Management (TCM) to begin on December 1st, 2022. To prepare for this, DHHS has developed partnerships with North Carolina Area Health Education Center (NC AHEC) to provide practice support, technical assistance, and continuing professional development to help Tailored Care Management providers who have applied and passed the desk review in the transition to Tailored Care Management. The TCM Continuing Professional Development programs are designed to assist TCM candidates with evidenced-based practices in all treatment settings for the successful implementation of TCM.

This course will provide care managers with foundational knowledge to better understand the service needs of children and adolescents and their families. The training will provide an overview of child and adolescent mental health and substance use issues, including indicators of risk and resilience. It will also examine mental health and substance use services provided to children and adolescents, including basic and enhanced services and residential treatment services. The content will emphasize the role of providers, communities, and systems of care in promoting child and adolescent well-being and healthy family systems.
