Tazewell County CPMT adds Center for Resilience as CSA provider and begins contract renewals

Robbie Davis, chair of the Tazewell County Community Policy and Management Team, asked the group Feb. 26 to add Center for Resilience (CFR) to the county’s list of Community Services Act (CSA) providers to supply psychosexual evaluations, therapy for individuals with problematic sexual behaviors, substance-abuse evaluations and counseling, mental-health evaluations and counseling, and parental capacity assessments. Davis said the county currently lacks local providers offering those services and noted CFR will open an office in the Pounding Mill area.

Sheri Hale moved to add Center for Resilience as a Tazewell County CPMT CSA provider; Arlene Matney seconded and the motion was adopted unanimously. The CPMT recorded no dissent.

The meeting then shifted to the FY2026–27 local provider contract renewal process. Members were provided the current list of 52 vendors and were told distribution of renewal documents will begin in March. Sheri Hale requested contract language requiring residential and group homes to provide transportation for youth to court hearing appointments; she will draft the proposed insertion for review at the March 23 CPMT meeting and the Tazewell County attorney will review the change.

Arlene Matney informed members that Erin Gillespie has filled a previously noted vacancy. The actions taken on provider recognition and the planned contract edits are procedural steps intended to expand local service capacity and clarify vendor responsibilities before the next contract cycle.

The CPMT is scheduled to reconvene on Monday, March 23, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
