The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) will be hosting two (2) one-hour virtual Listening Sessions on the 55 Pa. Code Chapter 5250 Crisis Licensing Regulations. The Listening Sessions are intended to provide a high-level summary of changes being made to the final form package based on the comments received and to gather provider perspectives on those specific areas.


Please register for one of the two session dates being offered by selecting the appropriate link below.


After completing your registration, you will receive an email confirmation containing instructions to join the webinar.


If you experience any issues with the registration process, please email.


The RCPA Crisis Regulation Review Team will meet in late June as a follow-up to the listening session to develop further recommendations based upon OMHSAS’s prospective changes. If you are interested in being a part of this review team, please contact RCPA COO and Mental Health Policy Director Jim Sharp.
