Add training requirements related to individuals with disabilities for substance use disorder treatment and mental health treatment staff
This bill requires staff in Minnesota substance use disorder and mental health treatment programs to receive specific training on accessibility, communications access, and sensory safety for individuals with disabilities, including those with traumatic brain injuries, developmental disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and physical disabilities. The new training must be completed initially and repeated every two years for substance use disorder treatment programs, while mental health treatment staff must receive this training before providing direct contact services to clients. These requirements apply to all staff members who have direct contact with clients and aim to ensure providers are equipped to serve people with disabilities effectively. The legislation amends existing state statutes to mandate these training components alongside other required topics like trauma-informed care, confidentiality, and emergency procedures.
