Description of Project:
This is an ongoing series of roundtables to gain an understanding of the needs of employers. An additional goal is to understand what programs, degrees, and certificates are currently being offered through higher education in the field of mental and behavioral health. Participants work together to identify potential gaps in workforce development and identify educational strategies for addressing these gaps. This includes colleges, IDNs, community organizations, and employers in the field of mental and behavioral health.
This group meets twice per year, and is open for new people to join.
