The next gathering of the Higher Education Learning Circle: Building the Behavioral Health Workforce will continue to build relationships and collaboration between behavioral health employers and higher education in our region. The focus of this September meeting will be to dive deeper into building those relationships that generate opportunities. A large part of this discussion will be around building the pipeline starting in high school, with a focus on the collaborative roles between education and employers in supporting future and current professionals on their career pathways. We will also provide an update on the wonderful opportunities and progress made from our initial meeting in February. 

You were not at the February event? Why you should join this Higher Education Learning Circle. Your higher education institution is an important part of building the behavioral health workforce in our region. We are asking you to work with your colleagues to create a team that represents the different behavioral health programs in your institution.

Lunch will be served. This is a free event.
