Description

The mental health workforce initiative - this mental health workforce initiative grant will be used to support the art therapy and counseling (ATC) program and the social work program at west liberty university (WLU). The funds will provide scholarships, help to recruit and retain students, and support them in their career choice. The majority of WLU's student body comes from the northern panhandle of west virginia, eastern ohio, and western pennsylvania. Although the area is considered metropolitan, WLU is also part of the appalachian area which is rural and has high poverty rates. Because of these limitations, many students have difficulty in continuing their educational goals and moving into the professional workforce. The goal of the mental health workforce initiative is to increase enrollment and provide support for students preparing for a career in the mental health field. Providing this career pathway will help alleviate the shortage of mental health providers working in the community and increase access to services, particularly for those living in rural areas.
