Miami University's Family Science and Social Department recently received a five-year federal grant from the US Department of Education to recruit, train, and graduate Master's level graduate social work students (MSWs) to serve as SBMH service professionals in high-need school districts throughout southwest Ohio. Specialized curriculum, training on inclusive evidence-based practices, mentoring, and financial incentives enable MSW students to provide mental health services in a systematic and equitable manner, while alleviating financial burdens and excessive school loan debt. This grant provides funding for marketing and recruitment efforts, resources to alleviate financial barriers for participating students, and staffing for program implementation.
