Alert! Read the SOS Notice of Information Sharing to all Clients

DBH has provided a new Notice of Information Sharing and Background document that should be read to all clients. The notice is intended to let clients know that information will be shared with the program evaluators and will allow processing of gift cards. This incorporates and replaces the Program Overview Script. Read the notice with all new SOS 4.0 clients and any current clients still receiving services. Continue using SAMHSA SUPRT-C consent when offering the client the SUPRT-C assessment forms.

Prepare for Client Gift Cards

DBH has received approval from SAMHSA for $30 gift cards to be offered when clients complete the SUPRT-C 6-month reassessment and SUPRT-C annual assessment. Clients who are discharged from services before these reassessment periods are not eligible for the gift card. Gift cards can be physically mailed or electronically sent via text or email to the clients. Data Collectors must complete the Locator Form in iPortal with the client’s preferred method of receiving the gift card, along with updating the corresponding contact information.

GRC continues to offer a two-part training series for SUPRT:
