Description: In support of
the White House’s Now is the Time
initiative, the FY 2014 Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training
for Professionals grant program aims to expand the mental health and substance
abuse (jointly referred to as behavioral health throughout the funding
opportunity announcement) workforce serving children, adolescents, and transitional-age
youth at risk for developing or who have developed a recognized behavioral
health disorder. Grantees will be expected to expand the behavioral
health workforce by supporting pre-degree clinical internships and field
placements for students at accredited master’s-level schools and programs of
social work, psychology, marriage and family therapy, psychiatric-mental health

clinical field placement in behavioral health; as well as, supporting
doctoral-level health service psychology internship programs (including health
services psychology, clinical psychology and counseling psychology) and/or
doctoral-level health service psychology schools and programs. All
internships and field placements need to focus on working with at-risk
children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth, and involve experiential
training that offers participation in established interprofessional
and integrated teams.
