Training Aligned With CCBHC Certification Criteria

To become certified and maintain CCBHC status, you’re required to have a training plan for all employed staff, including contract staff and DCOs. Training must address cultural competence, person-centered care, trauma-informed care, evidence-based care, primary care/behavioral health integration, and more.Relias offers courses that not only align with CCBHC certification criteria, but state licensure criteria as well. A sampling of our courses includes:
