The Jacksonville State University (JSU) was awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Program (CFDA 93.732) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, will support JSU's efforts to develop and expand the behavioral health workforce serving populations across the lifespan. Specifically, the funding will enable JSU to implement educational and training initiatives for professionals and paraprofessionals in disciplines such as nursing, counseling, social work, psychology, and addiction medicine. The goal is to increase access to mental health services, particularly in rural and medically underserved areas, through an integrated, interprofessional team-based approach to addressing substance use disorders, opioid use disorders, and mental health conditions.
