Description
The Mental Health Cultural Community Continuing Education Grant for Trainers supports organizations providing free supervisor training to mental health professionals from communities of color and underrepresented communities. The Minnesota Department of Health administers the program through its Office of Rural Health and Primary Care (ORHPC), under Minnesota Statutes Section 144.1511.
The program funds comprehensive training and support that prepares participants to supervise students and mental health practitioners pursuing licensure. Trainees must be able to earn all course credits or continuing education units required by their respective licensing boards for supervisory recognition. Curricula must be approved by those boards as acceptable coursework and fulfill the requirements for becoming board-approved supervisors.
