Behavioral Health Standardized Basic Training Modules for Unlicensed Providers

The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) has developed standardized basic training modules for unlicensed providers and direct care staff as an introduction to the key concepts they must be familiar with and competencies they must demonstrate prior to rendering specialized behavioral health services to members of Healthy Louisiana and the Coordinated System of Care (CSoC).

Training Modules:

Attestation:

It is important that providers complete attestation forms acknowledging completion of these trainings to receive credit for the training requirement prior to providing services.  Please complete and sign an attestation form, then submit the form to each plan with whom your agency contracts following the directions provided on the forms. An attestation form is not required to be completed for each health plan, only a single attestation form is required per provider.

 Documentation of completion must be maintained in staff personnel files as verification of completion for audit purposes.
