Body
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is expanding all California’s behavioral health professions, including the behavioral health workforce. The commitment is to improve and expand access to behavioral health services throughout the state to allow productive participation. As part of this enhancement, DHCS contracted with Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. (AHP) to implement the Behavioral Health Workforce Development (BHWD) project.
As of January 2022, 59 grantees have been awarded funds to support expansion of their behavioral health operations. Grantees are supported in many ways, including this customized platform providing learning and development resources.
You’re invited to apply for Behavioral Health Workforce Development (BHWD) support funding. The BHWD project offers multiple Requests for Funding Applications (RFAs): the Peer Workforce Investment (PWI) project, the Expanding Peer Organization Capacity (EPOC) project, and the Mentored Internship Project (MIP).
