Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) represents a groundbreaking public health approach to early intervention for people with psychosis. The federal block grant has helped to create almost 300 programs nationally; yet even this crucial funding is potentially fragile. This session will discuss how we can ensure coordinated specialty care programs can be sustained. We will review practical strategies to facilitate the creation of private and public funding streams that could promote sustainability.

Social Workers
American Psychiatric Association, provider #1743, is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved as ACE providers. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. American Psychiatric Association maintains responsibility for this course. ACE provider approval period: 05/18/2020-05/18/2021 and 05/18/2021-05/18/2024.

Continuing education requirements vary from state to state. Many state boards grant reciprocity with national accrediting organizations and other state boards. It is the responsibility of each professional to understand the requirements for license renewal or check with the state or national licensing board and/or professional organization to become more familiar with their policies for acceptable continuing education credit. Social workers and Psychologists should contact their regulatory board to determine course approval.
