San Diego Workforce Partnership receives $310,000 Grant for Behavioral Health Training

The San Diego Workforce Partnership is part of a statewide initiative to expand workforce development opportunities for Californians most impacted by COVID-19 and amplify outreach efforts to stop the spread of the virus. Workforce Partnership’s newest paid training program is aimed at helping San Diegans launch meaningful careers in behavioral and mental healthcare.

“We are focused on funding activities that address the inequities exacerbated by COVID,” said Susan Watson, director of Together Toward Health. “Efforts like this in San Diego reflect both the anticipated ongoing behavioral health needs and our commitment to support workforce development strategies to strengthen local economic resilience within disproportionately impacted communities.”
