New CalMHSA Programs Help Fill County Workforce Gaps
To assist county behavioral health departments in addressing the currently unprecedented workforce shortages, CalMHSA has created a range of new programs to fill the need for supervision, staffing, retention, and building a future workforce pipeline. Download Infographic (PDF)
Project Cultivate, a Master’s Level Training Program
A partnership with Palo Alto University to offer a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program for selected county staff:
- County covers tuition and fees
- Staff accept a service commitment with the county for a designated length of time
- Training emphasis on two areas: Marriage, Family and Child Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling
- Deadline to apply for fall 2023: July 30
Remote Supervision
Virtual clinical supervision through a HIPAA-compliant platform to fill a gap for counties that have pre-licensed staff but do not have access to enough clinical supervisors:
- Counties purchase remote individual supervision hours for pre-licensed staff
- All supervisors in the program will complete a training to orient them to the Medi-Cal core client populations within county behavioral health
- Counties also have the option to purchase Triad supervision (two associates, one supervisor)
- Group supervision (three to eight associates, one supervisor)
Temporary Clinical Staffing/Permanent Staff Recruitment
Supporting county behavioral health departments with both temporary and permanent in-person and remote clinical staffing:
- Counties can purchase clinical hourly staff time for 17 identified clinical positions
- Short-term and long-term program needs
- Joint Commission staffing agency
Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Offerings
To continue to strengthen counties’ Peer workforce, counties may elect to pay for certification fees for Peer workers by purchasing items related to Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist certification.
CalMHSA Workforce Loan Repayment
This new program offers counties additional loan repayment opportunities. It includes $50,000 per recipient for individuals identified by counties and for positions that are hard to fill or retain, in exchange for a three-year service commitment.
