The grant will be used to send six health center staff members through a master’s program at Fort Hays State University. Four staff members will pursue a master’s degree in social work, while the other two will enter a master’s in clinical mental health counseling program.
All six staff members will continue working at High Plains Mental Health Center as outpatient therapists following the two-year program, the report said. Five staff members work out of the main office in Hays, and one will be based out of the Colby branch.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
