Award Summary:

Funds are being used to implement Northwood’s Workforce for Wellness initiative, strengthening the behavioral health workforce across the Northern Panhandle. This investment supports the recruitment, training, and retention of early-career professionals through hands-on clinical experience across the full continuum of behavioral health and substance use disorder services. Resources fund structured supervision, didactic training, and partnerships with universities and licensing boards to create clear pathways from education to employment. The initiative also provides scholarships and professional development supports that reduce financial barriers and encourage long-term workforce retention. By building a pipeline of skilled, locally invested clinicians, the program expands access to high-quality, trauma-informed care and improves outcomes for individuals and families across the region.
