Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training: Our Important Work Continues
Published September 30, 2021
Our Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training competing continuation has been funded with the amount of $1.92 million (2021-2025) by HRSA. Our robust interprofessional education and training program has prepared graduate students with the knowledge and skills to provide evidenced-based behavioral health care, especially to those who reside in underserved areas, in an effort to address the shortage of well-trained and highly-skilled members of the behavioral health workforce. This program is helping to address the health inequities in these areas.
Fall 2017-Spring 2021
- Successfully trained 92 graduate students from Nursing (Psychiatric-Mental Health program), Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, and Rehabilitation Counseling.
