The University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) School of Social Work, in partnership with the University of Missouri (MU) School of Social Work, received a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to further advance and expand the behavioral health workforce to prepare student in master's level social work and clinical mental health counseling for professional clinical practice in integrated behavioral health and collaborative team settings. Continues efforts are being made to expand and promote integrated behavioral health expertise in collaborations with behavioral health agencies and advance trainings.
With commitment to vulnerable populations, the BHWET program trains students on the specific and unique needs of children, adolescents, and transitional youth living in medically underserved rural and urban communities. Students will be trained in effective behavioral health treatment modalities at interprofessional and team-based care field placement sites or ones that are working toward or have instituted the integration of behavioral health and primary care.
