California Mental Health Service Act Educational Stipend Recipient
California Department of Mental Health / Phillips Graduate Institute
The California Department of Mental Health (State) has initiated the MFT Educational Stipend Program with plans to award educational stipends to MFT students completing their degree by June 30, 2010. The State’s stipend program is funded through the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and its objective is to address the statewide workforce need for mental health practitioners in underserved communities. The goal of the State’s MFT Educational Stipend Program is threefold: 1. to recruit MFT graduates with capacity to serve the culturally diverse needs of persons in mental health care, 2. to prepare recruited MFT graduates in the delivery of mental health services that
promote wellness, recovery and resilience, and 3. to recruit into MFT academic programs individuals who have experience in the public mental health system as clients or family members of clients. The ultimate objective of the MFT educational stipend program is to promote public mental health as a career option for those entering the MFT profession. Towards that end, the stipend program promotes curriculum development in MFT graduate institutions that prepares MFT graduates for public mental health practice.
