Common areas going across our health care professional groups include:
- suicide awareness training,
- ethics,
- intervention methods,
- diversion for forensics,
- intercept model,
- juvenile justice,
- training for documentation, and
- mental health case management.
At the next meeting we will consider developing on-site training for some of these areas and develop strategies to partner with Nevada System of Higher Education, Western Governors University and others.

The first meeting of the
Licensing Board Work Group was held on Wednesday (February 8th) with participation from 14 DHHS employees.
As some of you may know, the Legislative Committee on Health Care has proposed consolidation of the four Behavioral Health Boards in Nevada, under the Division of Public and Behavioral Health. Administrator, Cody Phinney, is facilitating meetings with representatives from each of these boards to consider the proposal and try to build consensus.
Regardless of what happens with the proposal, the regulations should be reviewed and revised. The focus of this work group is to identify issues with current regulations for these boards, and propose solutions or standards, borrowing from other boards or national standards.
