The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) has announced that the Crisis System Transformation in Pennsylvania eLearning module is now available on MyOMHSAS. This module is a recording of the virtual Listening Session held this past June on the proposed 55 Pa. Code Chapter 5250 Crisis Licensing Regulations. The eLearning module aims to provide a high-level overview of proposed changes being made to the final form package based on comments received. It also provides a brief overview of the public comment period and a summary of the feedback process.

 

You can access the course here. Please note that you must sign in to your MyOMHSAS account before you can view the eLearning module. If you do not have an account, please follow the attached instructions to create one.

 

View the Instructions for Access to the eLearning module for more details.

 

If you have additional feedback after viewing the module, please contact RCPA COO and Mental Health Policy Director Jim Sharp or OMHSAS
