The purpose of this project is to increase the supply of diverse behavioral health professionals who are trained to integrate evidence-based practice, emerging practice models, and telehealth service delivery to medically underserved children, adolescents, and transition-age youth and their families in Colorado. To that end the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) has awarded $1.9 million (over 4 years) to MSU Denver MSW program to fund $10,000 scholarships for 29 concentration year clinical social work students who plan to work with children, youth, transition-age youth and their families in vulnerable, rural, or medically underserved areas.
This opportunity includes: a $10,000 stipend, specialized field placement, and training program with a focus on integrated behavioral health care which provides services to children, adolescents, and/or transitional age youth in rural and medically underserved areas.
The HRSA Integrative Care Stipend Program is a federally funded workforce development program available to concentration year and/or final year Social Work graduate students who are interested in committing to strengthening the workforce in Colorado by focusing on integrated behavioral health care.
The program’s goal is to improve health equity by building, strengthening and innovating through integration, the behavioral health care workforce in Colorado.
HRSA invests in the workforce by providing stipend funding and supplementary training to MSW student scholars who are passionate about health equity, and whose career interests (field placement and employment) align with the goals of the HRSA Program.
Participants are obligated to work for one year in a behavioral, mental, or integrated health care setting which provides services to children, youth, transition-age youth and their families in vulnerable, rural, or medically underserved areas.
