The Minnesota Department of Human Services Community Supports Administration is hosting two webinars for feedback and engagement on an upcoming study to reduce reliance on children’s congregate care settings. The administration is encouraging families and providers to attend.
Children’s congregate care is a treatment or room and board setting that provides 24-hour care and includes children’s residential treatment, shelter or group homes. The Minnesota Legislature funded the study of current treatment options for children under Minnesota’s Medicaid program to identify obstacles in transitioning children into the community and community-based treatment.
Topics will include the study’s design, medical necessity and treatment standards for congregate care settings, as well as gaps contributing to reliance on congregate care, and the ways systemic racism and implicit bias impact experiences with this care system.
Two webinars are scheduled with the same content planned for each event. You are welcome to invite other providers and family members who would be interested in attending.
Reducing Reliance on Children's Congregate Care Study
Wednesday, April 13, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Tuesday, April 19, 2 to 4 p.m.
If you have any questions about the study or the webinars, please email Michael Koehler at michael.j.koehler@state.mn.us.
