Background Information:
On 1/11/22, the Board of Supervisors approved the agreement with CalMHSA for the purpose of participation in the Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSPHD) and Workforce Education and Training (WET) program. The goal of the WET program aims to address the shortage of mental health practitioners in the public mental health system (PHMS) through a framework that engages Regional Partnerships and supports individuals through five potential categories including: Pipeline Development, Loan Repayment Program, Undergraduate College and University Scholarships, Clinical Master and Doctoral Graduate Education Stipends, and Retention Activities.
On 8/20/24, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No.1, which modified the Program’s Description to include a Retention Statement that outlines the program’s goal of developing and instituting system changes and opportunities.
This Amendment No. 2 will amend the termination date to extend the department’s participation in the program to 6/30/26.
