Hats ON! Child Mental Health Training

j0348713HATS ON! Is a training program designed to certify professionals and lay professionals who serve families who have mental health needs.  The Wyoming Department of Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse (DHMHSA) SAGE initiative, and UPLIFT, a Wyoming family resource network, are collaborating and partnering with families, children and communities.  The goal is to improve how we support and empower families, how families gain access to child mental health and related family program services, and how families grow and thrive.

The training will focus on becoming a family care coordinator and a certified Children’s Mental Health waiver provider.   Hats ON!! provides the training required to become a Children's Mental Health Waiver provider.  Attendees that would like to become a “certified” Children Mental Health Waiver provider must successfully complete all training modules and submit a Children’s Mental Health Waiver provider application and Medicaid Provider Enrollment application.  Applicants will be certified as a provider only after approval of applications, including background and DFS central registry checks.
