The first 3 modules open to all CSS staff cover:
- An Overview of CSS Admissions and Documentation Processes
- CSS Services
- The Golden Thread of Documentation
There are an additional two modules for staff who develop CSS documentation (clinicians/RN’s):
- Developing the Rehabilitation Needs Assessment
- Developing the Individualized Rehabilitation Plan
Registration: OPEN
The Rutgers School of Health Professions (SHP) is offering their CSS Documentation Training that will provide licensed Community Support Services (CSS) providers (e.g., LCSW, LPC, LSW, LAC, RN) with instructions on CSS policies and practices and documentation standards.
This training is intended for licensed staff (according to supervision guidelines) and Registered Nurses responsible for completing the CRNAs and IRPs for their agencies who have NEVER attended a CSS training OR who feel they need further training to complete these documents. CSS provider agencies should limit registration to 1 to 2 staff.
This CSS Clinician Documentation training will review CSS interventions, psychiatric rehabilitation goals, values, and principles, the comprehensive rehabilitation needs assessment (CRNA), and the individualized rehabilitation plan (IRP). Sessions will be small enough to provide participants with practice opportunities.
The CSS Clinician Documentation training will be offered remotely.
The virtual/remote training option will be offered via Zoom and will be completed in two sessions, scheduled for 2 consecutive Thursdays.
Participants must attend both sessions:
- Part 1: April 30th , from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
- Part 2: May 7th , from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
- This is a camera-on event. If you believe you will be unable to have your camera on throughout the entirety of the Zoom session, your supervisor must reach out to us directly.
