Interfaith Community Services will work with North County colleges to develop programs that allow students to earn on-the-job experience
A coalition spanning government and private philanthropy took a step toward solving the region’s mental health staffing shortage Tuesday with the unanimous approval of a $3.5 million project that aims to train a broad range of mental health care workers.
“Behavioral health services and behavioral health service providers are involved within all of our programs and are a critical element of the care and support Interfaith provides,” Anglea said. The five years of seed money from Price and the county, Anglea stressed, will not just be used to hire educators, but also to provide stipends and other types of financial assistance to students who can’t afford to drop out of the workforce in order to work on a degree.
In its first five years of operation, Anglea said, the center for excellence is expected to train 284 behavioral health specialists.
