MHSA Workforce Education and Training (WET)
Welcome to CMHDA’s Workforce Education and Training Resource Page! The Workforce Education and Training (WET) component of the Mental Health
Services Act (MHSA) is an essential part of the MHSA Transformation. WET has
five separate funding categories, which include Workforce Staffing Support,
Training and Technical Assistance, Mental Health Career Pathway Programs,
Residency and Internship Programs and Financial Incentive Programs.
The
objectives are meant to develop training curricula in accordance with MHSA
values, incorporate cultural competency in all training and education programs,
increase Mental Health career development opportunities, expand postsecondary
education capacity, expand loan repayment scholarship programs, create stipend
programs, promote distance learning techniques, promote employment of clients
and family members in Mental Health system, and promote meaningful inclusion of
client and family members in all training and education programs. These support
the WET overall mission of developing and maintaining a sufficient workforce
capable of providing client and family driven, culturally competent services,
that promote wellness, recovery and resiliency, and lead to evidenced-based,
value-driven outcomes.
