COMPLAINT PRESENTATIONS

Discussion took place regarding questions on the supervision requirement for Patricia Morini. This needs to be a report rather than just attendance. Supervisor needs to have 10 years experience, to be approved in advance, have letter of intent, have a resume, etc. The counselor must have 12-15 sessions with an ethics specialist. Jeri Stevens is proposed to be the ethics specialist. This can take place before she is working and is acceptable. The supervisor cannot be current employer nor someone she knows from previous relationship. All three supervision sessions need to be held with three different supervisors. Judy will draft the letter and send it to Cheryl and Ted for review. Polly Moutevelis-Burgess moved and Cynthia Woodard seconded to send a copy of the decision and order to the Alcohol and Drug board with which Ms. Morini also holds a license.
