Qualifying Field Placement (Internship) Sites A. County Department of Mental Health Program or county DMH Contract Agency receiving MHSA dollars, realignment dollars or both. B. Setting is community-based and serves consumers in Voluntary Status. C. When setting involves multiple funding streams, student placement should be in program area funded with MHSA dollars. realignment dollars or both. D. Placement assignments will normally focus on MICRO practice. Students with extensive experience in MICRO practice may be placed in a MACRO setting as long as they receive Mental Health Curriculum/Mental Health Competencies as defined by the school. F. Are the following settings qualified for Field Placement? 1. Involuntary Setting? Inpatient Setting? Jail Setting? State Prison Setting? State Hospital? IMD Facilities (Institute for Mental Disorders)? Outpatient Involuntary Programs? 8. Setting with both Voluntary and Involuntary programs, as long as they are in the program area serving Voluntary consumers? 9. Setting with both Inpatient and Outpatient programs as long as they are in the program area providing Outpatient services? II. Qualifying Employment Payback Settings A. Student must complete payback requirement in a county Department of Mental Health Program. or a county DMH contracted agency in a position . funded with MHSA dollars, realignment dollars or both. B. Setting is community based and serves consumers in Voluntary status. C. When setting involves multiple funding streams, student is employed in program area which is funded with Mental Health dollars realignment dollars or both. Setting will normally focus on MICRO practice. Students who have met the requirements for a MACRO placement Have the option to accept a setting with MACRO responsibilities. F. Are the following sites qualifying Employment payback settings? 1. Involuntary settings? 2. Inpatient settings? Jail settings? State Prison settings? State Hospitals? IMD Facilities (Institute for Mental Disorders)? Outpatient Involuntary programs? 8. Setting with both Involuntary and Voluntary programs as long as employment is in Voluntary program area? 9.. Setting has both Inpatient and Outpatient programs as long as employment is in Outpatient program area? III. Student Status Issues A. Student is enrolled as a second year student in a full-time MSW program and will graduate at the end of the second year placement period. B. Student does not have to be a permanent resident of California. C. Student does not have to be a US citizen but must have immigrant status (i.e. green card) and a work permit if the employing county accepts this status. D. Additional questions needing clarification: 1. Can a student complete the payback requirement in a part-time position, taking 2 calendar years to complete the required time period? 2. Can a student receiving a MH Stipend and placed in a qualifying setting receive an agency “training stipend” (usually hired by the county on a ‘Student Worker” item and funded through MHSA, realignment or other MH dollars) in addition to the MH Stipend? Would this be considered “double dipping?” Student is having difficulty successfully completing the field placement component of the program and needs additional time in existing placement or re-placement in another qualified setting. What are allowances for extended continuation of MH Stipend student status without defaulting for non-completion within normal timeframe? IV. Consumer MH Stipend Students Need multiple strategies to assist consumers in MSW programs who are receiving the CalSWEC MH Stipend, such as: Developing a part-time program for consumers who may need a reduced coursework load to be successful in their educational goals. Developing an extended timeline for completion of the fieldwork placement component of the MSW program if the student is experiencing difficulties in this component of the program. Developing an extended timeline for completion of the Job search/employment payback component of the program. Develop a full range of support services at the university for consumers who are struggling in their recovery. and therefore having difficulties in meeting educational demands and expectations in the usual timeframe. V. Contract Issues A. Increase job search period to 6 months (180 days). B. Reconsider phrase “Student must accept the first qualifying position offered” as it penalizes county DMH systems as employment process is more complex than that of smaller CBO contract agencies. C. Consider adjusting qualifying student eligibility criteria to include students in the 3rd year of a 3 year program who carry a full-time equivalent courseload and are completing their 2nd year placement. D. Consider adjusting language requiring students employed by county DMH or contract agencies to be on a Leave of Absence in order to participate in the MH Stipend program. Alternative language could require that all program participants reduce current employment at any location by the number of hours of required internship placement. Develop multiple strategies for assisting consumers who are enrolled in MSW programs as MH Stipend students to allow them to have a successful educational experience and fulfill the requirements of the educational and employment payback obligations. Develop multiple strategies for assisting students enrolled in MSW programs as MH Stipend students to allow them to have a successful educational experience and fulfill the requirements of the educational and employment payback obligations. Future contracts for the MH Stipend program need to include a part-time program component to accommodate individuals already employed in county DMH or contract agencies. This is particularly critical for small/rural counties. Support development of distance education models of MSW programs to reach small, rural distant counties. Clearly define a process for schools to approach CalSWEC when they have students who are making a "good faith" job search effort to get approval for a delay in payback and default timelines. 7:a“1 ] ń   íđň‘“šÍý˙†uŠüóüóěüěüěçÝçüÖĚěĚÄÖěüżüçüżüÖü h¸(ÄH*h-Xh¸(Ä5hĚ]Şh¸(Ä5>* h-Xh¸(Ähm6h¸(Ä5>* h¸(Ä5 h¸(Ä5>*h¸(Ä5>*CJh¸(Ä7`a“”#$op­ý!"de" # c d  € “ ” ˘ Ł š ýýýýýýýýýýýýý÷ńěýýýýýçáçýç„ ^„  & F & F„Đ^„Đ„Đ`„ĐŠţš ş Ę Ë ý ţ  Š Ş ÷ / 0 1 ] ^ § ř 6 > ˆ ‰ 2 B D t u ýřýřýřýýýňňýňýýěěýěýýýýýçě & F„Đ^„Đ„ ^„  & Fu ł ô ő ;<WXqr‚™šŤŹÝŢvwďđń[úôôîěěěěěçěçěçěçâçěěěěěěěěgd¸(Ä & F„Đ`„Đ„8^„8 & F[Ł¤éę7ŽŔVW+ ĄěíU€ťýýýýýýýýýýýôýěçŢŢÖÍÍĹ & F gd¸(Ä„ ^„ gd¸(Ä & F gd¸(Ä„h^„hgd¸(Ägd¸(Ä & Fgd¸(Ä„Ě^„Ěgd¸(ÄťűC|¸šď'(ŚTU¨,-_†‡ööńéöÜńéöńéöÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚÚ „T„Đ^„T`„Đgd¸(Ä & F gd¸(Ägd¸(Ä„$ ^„$ gd¸(Ä‡Ě Q‚Îsu\]ĆLJŠ÷îîîé÷îç÷Ţ÷é÷Ř„Đ^„Đ„Đ^„Đgd¸(Ägd¸(Ä„8^„8gd¸(Ä & Fgd¸(Ä&1h:p¸(Ä°Đ/ °ŕ=!° "° #`$`%°Ľ@@ń˙@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@ň˙ĄD Default Paragraph FontVió˙łV  Table Normal :V ö4Ö4Ö laö (kô˙Á(No List Š0˙˙˙˙ ˙˙ z™ ˙˙ z™ ˙˙ z™ ˙˙ z™ˆ  ‚ŠL7`a“”#$op­ý!"de"#cd€“”˘ŁšşĘËýţ ŠŞ÷/01]^§ř6>ˆ‰2BDtułôő;<WXqr‚™šŤŹÝŢ  v w ď đ ń  [ Ł ¤ é ę 7 Ž  Ŕ V W +   Ą ěíU€ťűC|¸šď'(ŚTU¨,-_†‡Ě Q‚Îsu\]ĆLJŒ˜0€€¸€˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸˜ 0€€¸˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€p`Ā˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸€€˜ 0€€¸€€˜0€€¸đ¤˜0€€¸đ¤˜0€€¸đ¤˜0€€¸đ¤˜0€€¸đ¤˜0€€¸Ź€˜0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`Ę 0€€p`Ę0€€p`ÄŠš u [ť‡ŠŠđ8đ@ń˙˙˙€€€÷đ’đđ0đ( đ đđB đS đżË˙ ?đŒŒ {P°Äě*˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ,đpśÂ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ţQśZ Pž˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙_=^¸XřŹ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙,a@ąVÁ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙.FĚkœ„ř˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙z[mš†t˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ żpBd‚-˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ŽC‡{˙Š˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙„8„˜ţĆ8^„8`„˜ţo(.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „Ř „L˙ĆŘ ^„Ř `„L˙‡hˆH.€ „¨ „˜ţƨ ^„¨ `„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „x„˜ţĆx^„x`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „H„L˙ĆH^„H`„L˙‡hˆH.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „č„˜ţĆč^„č`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „¸„L˙Ƹ^„¸`„L˙‡hˆH.„„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţo(.„@ „0ýĆ@ ^„@ `„0ýo(>‚ „¨ „L˙ƨ ^„¨ `„L˙‡hˆH.€ „x„˜ţĆx^„x`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „H„˜ţĆH^„H`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „„L˙Ć^„`„L˙‡hˆH.€ „č„˜ţĆč^„č`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „¸„˜ţƸ^„¸`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „ˆ„L˙Ćˆ^„ˆ`„L˙‡hˆH.„8„˜ţĆ8^„8`„˜ţo(.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „Ř „L˙ĆŘ ^„Ř `„L˙‡hˆH.€ „¨ „˜ţƨ ^„¨ `„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „x„˜ţĆx^„x`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „H„L˙ĆH^„H`„L˙‡hˆH.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „č„˜ţĆč^„č`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „¸„L˙Ƹ^„¸`„L˙‡hˆH.„8„˜ţĆ8^„8`„˜ţo(. „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „Ř „L˙ĆŘ ^„Ř `„L˙‡hˆH.€ „¨ „˜ţƨ ^„¨ `„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „x„˜ţĆx^„x`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „H„L˙ĆH^„H`„L˙‡hˆH.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „č„˜ţĆč^„č`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „¸„L˙Ƹ^„¸`„L˙‡hˆH.„„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţo(.„8„0ýĆ8^„8`„0ýo(.„ „˜ţĆ ^„ `„˜ţo(.„$ „˜ţĆ$ ^„$ `„˜ţo(.€ „@ „˜ţĆ@ ^„@ `„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „ŕ„L˙Ćŕ^„ŕ`„L˙‡hˆH.€ „°„˜ţĆ°^„°`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „€„˜ţĆ€^„€`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „P„L˙ĆP^„P`„L˙‡hˆH.„8„˜ţĆ8^„8`„˜ţo(.„„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţo(.„8„˜ţĆ8^„8`„˜ţo(.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „Ř „L˙ĆŘ ^„Ř `„L˙‡hˆH.€ „¨ „˜ţƨ ^„¨ `„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „x„˜ţĆx^„x`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „H„L˙ĆH^„H`„L˙‡hˆH.€ „„˜ţĆ^„`„˜ţ‡hˆH.€ „č„˜ţĆč^„č`„˜ţ‡hˆH.‚ „¸„L˙Ƹ^„¸`„L˙‡hˆH. ţQśZ{P°z[m,a_=^ żpŽC‡{ ,.FĚk˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ˙˙ ź ’˝@¨Ş+       d™R&~îڌ2-      "2BG        Ŕ Œ?*˙@€`Üş?ŠP @˙˙Unknown˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙GTimes New Roman5€Symbol3 Arial"ńˆđĐhžÁ´FžÁ´FP;ąą ,ŃÁ .!đ `´´r4dÜ’ Ú3ƒQđßßHX)đ˙?ä˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙B˘˙˙ Jan Black Wendy Hoopes0         ţ˙ ŕ…ŸňůOhŤ‘+'łŮ0„˜ Ź¸ĚŘäô  4 @ L Xdlt|' Jan BlackNormalWendy Hoopes2Microsoft Word 11.3@@ˇĽ˜2Ç@<9¨t†Ç@<9¨t†Çąţ˙ ŐÍ՜.“—+,ůŽ0ř hpŒ”œ¤ Ź´źÄ Ě Ů'Black Foundation, Ü  Title ţ˙˙˙ !"#$%&'()*+,-ţ˙˙˙/012345ţ˙˙˙789:;<=ţ˙˙˙ý˙˙˙@ţ˙˙˙ţ˙˙˙ţ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙Root Entry˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ ŔF# :†ÇB€1Table˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙„)WordDocument˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙(0SummaryInformation(˙˙˙˙.DocumentSummaryInformation8˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙6CompObj˙˙˙˙XObjectPool˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙# :†Ç# :†Ç˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ţ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ţ˙˙˙˙˙ ŔFMicrosoft Word Documentţ˙˙˙NB6WWord.Document.8
