PWhat's New


	The primary mission of the CalSWEC II Mental Health Initiative is the development of a professionally trained, culturally competent social work workforce that will meet the needs of the public mental health system in California. The initiative's first project is a set of Mental Health Competencies that will be offered in both educational and agency settings to prepare the future MSW-level workforce. The initiative is funded by grants from the California Wellness Foundation and the Zellerbach Family Foundation. It has forged a partnership with education and mental health practitioners representing the 18 schools and departments of social work across the state, the 58 county mental health departments, and a variety of other key stakeholders with expertise in public mental health practice, policy, and service delivery.
