The Clinical Assessment of Protective Parenting (CAPP)
The North Carolina Child Medical Evaluation Program (CMEP) is seeking mental health professionals to join a statewide roster of providers that will conduct clinical assessments to aid in decision-making in Child Protective Services investigations.
The Clinical Assessment of Protective Parenting (CAPP) is driven by empirically supported measures in understanding a parent’s ability and willingness to mitigate safety risks for their child. The objectives of this evaluation are two-fold: to offer a clinical lens through which to assess the current risk and potential of future harm that a caretaker may pose to a child, and to assist in identifying services that will enhance a parent’s capacity to provide for their child’s needs.
Requirements for rostering:
• LCSW or LCSW-A, or master’s level mental health provider
• 2 years of clinical experience with adults in treatment setting
• 1 day CAPP training (planned for January 2023)
Rostered providers will receive:
• Training in the CAPP at no cost to the clinician
• Support through regular quality assurance feedback
• Reimbursement for services from the NC Department of Social Services
This is not a full-time position. It is expected that providers will be able to perform evaluations within the scope of their practice, at the request of child welfare.
Please email CAPP_CMEP@med.unc.edu for more information and to register for training.
