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 and will not be employed by UNC School of Medicine. 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.
