Title
First Report from the Behavioral Health Workforce Education Center of Illinois
Description
As established in the Healthcare and Human Services Reform Act of Illinois, the Center is designed to address the workforce shortage in the behavioral health system of care. This report highlights how the two state university systems have partnered with state agencies and behavioral health care providers to recruit, train, educate, retain, diversify, and advance the behavioral health workforce across Illinois during the first year of operations at the Center. The Center received funding and began in 2022, so this report reflects its first year of operations.
