The Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) manages the local Children’s Services Act (CSA) program by coordinating agencies efforts, managing the available funds, and establishing local CSA program policies.

CSA is a law enacted in 1993 that established a single state pool of funds to support behavioral health services for eligible youth and their families. State funds combined with local community funds are managed by local inter-agency teams that plan and manage those services for youth. The Office of Children’s Services (OCS) oversees Clarke County’s administration of the program.

Current Members:

• Denise Acker, Chair, Northwestern Community Services board representative
• David Ash, Parent representative
• Terri Catlett, Board of Supervisors representative
• Tavan Mair, Private Provider representative
• Frank Moore, Clarke County Public Schools representative
• Jennifer Parker, Vice Chair, Department of Social Services representative
• Leea Shirley, Virginia Department of Health representative
• Jerry Stollings, Court Services representative

CPMT meetings are from 2 to 4 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month in the second-floor meeting space of the Berryville-Clarke County Government Center (101 Chalmers Ct., Berryville Va.). CPMT meetings are open to the public.
