SSW Awarded Grant from Health Resources and Services Administration

The U-M School of Social Work (SSW) has received a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration to increase the number of MSW behavioral health workers. This project prepares MSW students to work with impoverished racial and ethnic minority children, adolescents, and transitional age youth living with behavioral health conditions. SSW, in collaboration with the Detroit/Wayne County Mental Health Authority, will provide a specialized inter-professional behavioral health education and training program called the Detroit Clinical Scholar Program to 33 MSW students per year (a total of 99 over three years).
