The Calocus Training Form is a structured request document for employees seeking training in CALOCUS (Child and Adolescent Level of Care Utilization System) or LOCUS (Level of Care Utilization System). These clinical tools are used by behavioral health care service professionals to evaluate the appropriate level of care for children, adolescents, and adult clients in community mental health settings.
The form determines whether an employee requires training by asking them to self-evaluate their prior experience. Training is required in three main situations: the employee has never completed a LOCUS or CALOCUS evaluation, the employee has not received formal training, or the employee has not completed an assessment in over a year. Those actively using the tools or previously trained may bypass additional training with supervisor approval, and the agency-based trainer must countersign any such plan.
There are two clinical training pathways covered by the form. Employees providing care services to children, youth, and families are directed toward CALOCUS training. Those providing care services to adults complete LOCUS trainings instead. The form captures employee name, agency, job title, and contact details to facilitate the evaluation process and schedule the correct clinical training session.
Once completed, the Calocus Training Form must be endorsed by the employee, the employee's supervisor, and the agency-based CALOCUS/LOCUS trainer. This three-way authorization confirms all parties understand the training plan. For any questions about CALOCUS trainings or the form submission process, employees may contact DMH Provider Relations using the contact details listed on the form.
