C.A.M.P.-ing Begins!
We are excited to launch of our SAMHSA funded C.A.M.P. initiative. We will mentor 2 cohorts. The first cohort of 3 agencies will begin in 2023. The second cohort of 3 agencies will begin in 2024. Mentorship will be funded by our SAMHSA grant.
Wondering if your agency is a good candidate for C.A.M.P.?
- Is your agency a community mental health agency receiving public funds to provide services?
- Does your agency have 3 or more CPP supervisors?
- Has CPP been a part of your agency's service delivery for 3 or more years?
If yes to all 3 questions, contact your agency trainer.
Only CPP Trainers can nominate an agency for the SAMHSA C.A.M.P. initiative.
Agency Nominations must be submitted by Monday Nov 21, 2022.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are many factors that we will consider to select agencies to participate in this initiative, some key considerations include:
- No. Only CPP trainers can submit the SAMHSA C.A.M.P. Agency Nomination application.
- Yet, if an agency feels they meet criteria for nomination, we encourage the agency to reach out to their trainer to discuss having the CPP trainer nominate them.
- There is no limit.
- Trainers can nominate as many agencies as they believe are good candidates for C.A.M.P
- Agencies and trainers can make this determination collaboratively.
- C.A.M.P. is an 18 month mentoring process.
- Please visit our main C.A.M.P. webpage for more details.
- The Training Components, Sustainability, C.A.M.P. Overview and C.A.M.P. documents sections provide more in-depth information to help agencies better understand what to expect.
- Please see the C.A.M.P. Apprentice Trainer Training Agreement.
- What's important to hold in mind is that in the C.A.M.P. approach to training, supervision is the primary means of disseminating the model.
- C.A.M.P. Agency Trainers are only vetted and endorsed to train clinicians to whom they are providing direct supervision.
- Each C.A.M.P. trainer is responsible for providing 1hr of individual CPP reflective supervision to each supervisee or 2 hr of group supervision with no more than 4 supervisees. This supervision time should be specific to CPP cases only. This requirement is specific to supervisees in the midst of the rostering process. See Component 4a of the Apprentice Trainer Training Agreement. Although best practice, it is not required once the supervisee completes their rostering requirements.
- Please see the C.A.M.P. Overview slides for more information about the parameters and portability of C.A.M.P. trainer status.
- In short, C.A.M.P. trainers may only utilize their status as vetted C.A.M.P. trainers at other C.A.M.P. agencies.
- There are a few variations that are considered a multi-site agency.
- Please see slides 54 & 55 of the C.A.M.P. Overview slides
- Yes. Please remember that not all nominated agencies will be chosen to participate in this SAMHSA funded initiative.
- All agencies are encouraged to proceed with any CPP training that was planned prior to the announcement of this C.A.M.P. opportunity.
- Additionally, the LC training approach is not interchangeable with C.A.M.P. In the C.A.M.P. model, the Apprentice Trainers/C.A.M.P. will co-lead an LS1, LS2 and LS3 for their supervisees. There will only be consultation calls with the Apprentice Trainers during the 18 month mentoring process to support them with how they disseminate CPP through the supervision process.
