This week the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced $22 million in awards to 56 recipients. Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, it brings the total funding to $66 million for 168 organizations. Recipients will train graduate-level students in social work, psychology, and other behavioral and mental health disciplines to work with vulnerable populations, particularly children, adolescents, and transitional-aged youth at risk for behavioral health disorders through placements at health centers and other community-based settings.
