DHS Accepting Applications for Projects to Improve Cultural Competence of Behavioral Health Workforce
?Grants to be awarded for equity and inclusion efforts
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) is accepting applications for grants to fund behavioral health workforce training. The training must build provider capacity to deliver mental health and substance use services that respect and respond to the beliefs, practices, and needs of diverse communities.
?This grant program seeks to ensure that when it comes to mental health and substance use disorder services, being treated with dignity and respect, and receiving care that is high quality and accessible, are things all Wisconsinites have the right to expect and are not the privileges of a few,? said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake. ?Services that are culturally appropriate are more welcoming and effective. This grant program will help eliminate the disparities that exist in our mental health and substance use services system.?
