It is important to note that there were multiple mental health consultations during the course of the Fall 05 SOW internship.  Three Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) who were consulted in weekly "supervision" meetings provided consultation at their private practice office(s) in Tallahassee.  In the normal operations of the private practice, it was routine for a Psychiatrist, Marriage & Family (M/F; Systems) professional and a Play Therapist (TX) to attend the supervision meetings (with each expert attending one meeting per month).  Each expert was paid to provide case consultation (staffings) by the private practice LCSW's.  Other consultations occurred at random, as needed and often occurred via telephone.

One-hour increments were estimated for all mental health clients who were seen weekly and one-hour increments were estimated for all case management clients.  For clients who received both services, CM hours are reduced by one hour for each week MH services were also provided.  During the course of the internship a total of 260 hours of direct client contact was recorded.  The remaining 252 hours (of the total 512 internship requirement) were relegated to administrative and program development tasks.  Dollar Value estimates for administrative social work tasks can be found in the latter pages of this report.
