Transitions to Community Living (TCL) Part 1: Overview
Feb 6, 2024 Closed Mental Health

Description
NC 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 care managers, supervisors and extenders with evidenced-based practices in all treatment settings for the successful implementation of TCM.
This training is designed to provide an overview of the Transitions to Community Living (TCL) program and key initiatives for providers planning to provide TCL. This program will be the first of two trainings required of NC providers for the TCL distinction in order to provide TCM services to TCM participants in North Carolina. This is not a required course for Tailored Care Management.
This course is not intended for sale. It is for certified AMH+/CMA providers and Tailored Plans only. A discount code to allow free access will be provided to you by your agency administrator. CINs and other agencies providing comprehensive care management that do not have a contract with MAHEC do not receive these courses for free. To contract with MAHEC, please contact Scott Melton.
By registering for this course, you are granting permission for your contact information and course completion information to be shared with DHHS-DHB and participating NC BH/IDD Tailored Plans (LME/MCOs) for this continuing education activity.
