Workforce Solutions Overview

Virtual clinical supervision through a HIPAA-compliant platform helps to fill a gap for counties that have pre-licensed staff but do not have access to enough clinical supervisors:

• Counties with licensed supervisor shortages can secure essential supervision for their clinical staff.
• Counties can separate clinical supervision from administrative supervision.
• Staff receive supervision that is 100% dedicated to their clinical needs.
• Additional leverage for counties in their clinician recruitment and retention efforts.

Supporting county behavioral health departments with both temporary and permanent in-person and remote clinical staffing:

• Counties can purchase clinical hourly staff time for 17 identified clinical positions
• Addresses short-term and long-term program needs
• Joint Commission staffing agency

To continue to strengthen counties’ Peer workforce, counties may elect to pay for certification fees for Peer workers by purchasing items related to Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist certification.

This new program offers counties additional loan repayment opportunities. It includes $50,000 per recipient for individuals identified by counties and for positions that are hard to fill or retain, in exchange for a three-year service commitment.
