New Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training program at Case Western Reserve University
The Case Western Reserve University Community-Based Integrated Behavioral Health Training Program aims to expand access to critically needed behavioral health services by increasing the number of qualified professionals from diverse backgrounds with competency to provide high quality, trauma informed prevention and treatment services. The proposed program will significantly expand and enhance existing student training while providing opportunities for the development of increased BH expertise in community providers and academic faculty. This collaborative training program involves the Mandel School, the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and the MetroHealth System.

- Will provide trainees with experiential and didactic training focusing on culturally responsive practices to address BH needs in racial, ethnic, sexual and gender minority youth/young adults and youth involved in the justice and foster care systems.
- Will substantially expand existing academic and community partnerships to enhance integrated student training, build a well-equipped behavioral health workforce, and improve access to trauma informed, evidence-based BH services for children, adolescents, transitional age youth and their caregivers.
- CWRU faculty with BH expertise across the targeted areas will provide leadership, consultation and didactic training to create sustainable improvements in practice within each of the community sites.
