Career Summer Institute in Mental Health

9/20/2010

JustificationThe passage of Proposition 63, Mental Health

Services Act (MHSA) in 2004 has infused funds into the mental health industry, which translates into increased job demand.

Although, most mental health professions require education beyond AS or AA degrees, a pipeline or pathway must be established to recruit from the local diverse population.

The institute will serve as an important part of that pipeline.
