LCPCM Supervision Subsidy
For LGPCs Working with Underserved Populations
LCPCM is offering financial help to cover some of the supervision costs for LGPCs who serve or wish to serve the homeless, low income, or Medicaid eligible populations. This is a limited pilot project that we hope will enable LGPCs to accept employment positions that serve these populations even though there is no LCPC supervisor on site to provide the required supervision.
The applicant, the employment site, and the LCPC supervisor must meet certain requirements for the LGPC to qualify. Each individual subsidy is limited to a total of $2,500. Completed application packages will be reviewed in the order that they are received.
Subsidy Program Purpose
- To increase access to clinical mental health services for the underserved.
