Description
The Qualified Treatment Trainee Expanding Agency Awards support behavioral health agencies that are increasing the number of placements in programs they already operate. Eligible trainee positions are in social work (APSW), marriage and family therapy (MFT-IT), and counseling (LPC-IT). The awards also support supervisor development.
The program aims to build Wisconsin’s behavioral health workforce by increasing opportunities for trainees to complete supervised direct-service hours toward professional licensure. It is funded by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ Division of Care and Treatment Services and administered in coordination with the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, with guidance from the QTT Grants Program Advisory Committee.
