The Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education, is pleased to announce the following training opportunity: From Questions to Confidence: Connecting Students and Families to Benefits Counseling. As students with disabilities plan for life after high school, questions about how employment impacts public benefits can create uncertainty and hesitation for students and their families. Benefits counseling plays a critical role in helping individuals understand how work, earnings, and career advancement interact with benefits such as SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, and related programs, supporting informed decision-making and reducing fear around employment. This session will combine a brief foundational presentation with a panel discussion featuring educators and partners who have implemented strategies to connect students and families to benefits counseling in their schools and communities.

Audience:
Special Educators, Transition Coordinators, School Counselors, School Psychologists, Related Service Providers, Administrators, Rehabilitation counselors or professionals working in vocational rehabilitation/transition

As RCPA continues to serve our members’ needs across the behavioral health service continuum, we will be convening an Adult Mental Health Residential Work Group. This committee will be structured and function in a similar manner to our other work groups, with the goal being to address the outlying barriers providers face within the residential services arena.

RCPA is at its best with committed partnership and collaboration; therefore, the committee will be open to all RCPA members. We will tentatively have our first meeting in late April or early May, after we develop our participant list. The early work will include the development of a strategic agenda that begins to address the challenges related to regulations, workforce, program sustainability, and operations.

If you are interested in participating, please contact RCPA COO and Mental Health Policy Director Jim Sharp via email.

Upcoming Webinar from Our Member, Qualifacts

Date: Monday, March 30, 2026
Time: 12:00 pm CST
Featuring: KindMind Behavioral Health & Qualifacts

Scaling a behavioral health organization requires more than adding clinicians or opening new locations. It requires operational consistency, visibility, and systems that can support growth as complexity increases.

In this session, hear directly from Michael Nadhir, CEO of KindMind Behavioral Health, as he shares his experience growing a small, single-service practice into a multi‑location behavioral health organization. Through a candid conversation, Michael will walk through the key decisions that shaped KindMind’s growth journey, including the shift away from manual processes and the creation of an operational foundation designed to support long-term expansion.

Michael will be joined by Ashley Denney, Vice President of Product Management at Qualifacts, who brings a product leadership perspective that helps frame the discussion and connect real-world operational challenges to the technology strategy required to scale with confidence.

Rather than focusing on software features, this webinar centers on the business realities of growth, including maintaining consistent workflows across locations, preserving operational control as organizations evolve, and aligning technology decisions with long-term goals.

Designed for behavioral health leaders and operators, this session offers a practical, experience-driven look at what it takes to build a scalable organization prepared for what’s next.

In this webinar, we will:

  • Explore the operational challenges that emerge as behavioral health organizations grow across locations
  • Discuss how consistent workflows and visibility support sustainable expansion
  • Examine the role of long-term EHR strategy in maintaining control as complexity increases
  • Share lessons learned from a real-world growth journey, grounded in business and operational experience

Featured Speakers

  • Michael Nadhir | CEO, KindMind Behavioral Health
  • Ashley Denney | Vice President, Product Management, Qualifacts

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) has developed a communications toolkit available at DHS’s website to help Pennsylvanians understand SNAP work and reporting requirements as well as how to meet them.

SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) services are important for Pennsylvanians who are applying for or receiving SNAP and who must meet federal work and reporting requirements because these services will help them meet the requirements.

SNAP recipients must work, volunteer, or participate in an education or training program for at least 20 hours a week (or 80 hours each month) AND report to PA DHS they are meeting this requirement. If SNAP recipients do not meet the work and reporting requirements, they can only receive three months of SNAP benefits in a three-year period.

Please contact RCPA Policy Associate Emma Sharp with any questions.

The Department of Human Services’ Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) and the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) have announced the Dual Diagnosis Professional Conference Series, which offers presentations focused on supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism (ID/A) and mental health needs.

The speakers come from varied backgrounds, all with the shared goal of improving the quality of life for the people they support. They will demonstrate how to expand independence at the person and provider level, explore how to use technology to create new opportunities that might not have been available without it, and share personal accounts of people and providers who used this technology to demonstrate how lives and operations have changed by adding this measure.

Please view the flyer for additional details.

The session will be offered virtually via the Zoom© platform. The Zoom link for joining the session will be sent to the email you used to register. This link will be unique to your registration. Please do not share this link.
