Building a Robust Pipeline

BeWellPBC sees the potential of the Behavioral Health Technician Program as a long-term solution to build and fill the pipeline with diverse behavioral health professions desperately needed locally and across the state.

With a new two-year grant from the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, BeWellPBC is able to support students in the program by creating a network of co-instructors (from local behavioral health providers), coordinating internships and scholarship opportunities, and encouraging youth to come forward with creative behavioral health ideas through the mini-grant process.

The foundation is also funding BeWellPBC to launch and support three new student-led behavioral health clubs in local high schools, places of belonging and where career aspirations may flourish.
