ACCS Foundational Training

The purpose of this curricula is to provide standardized, foundational training for onboarding and orienting all new staff hired to work with the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health’s (DMH) persons served by Adult Clinical Community Services (ACCS). This training was borne out of recognition that evidence - based practices can only be implemented with fidelity if all staff persons, from clinicians to frontline residential staff, understand the importance of these concepts and how they apply to their work.
