人妻中出视频 of Utah announces an expansion of the , made possible with support of Cambia 人妻中出视频 Foundation. The initiative is focusing on addressing the critical shortage of mental health professionals in Salt Lake City by creating a dedicated cohort centered on behavioral health careers.
Salt Lake City faces a significant shortage of mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and social workers.

The funding will facilitate the design, launch, and a pilot program. In January 2025, L+E will pilot the initiative with five undergraduate students placed in part-time jobs at 人妻中出视频 of Utah 人妻中出视频 clinics.
Program Features:
- Career Coaching: Students receive targeted career coaching to help them understand their career goals, develop relevant skills, and graduate ready to lead in their communities.
- Academic and Financial Support: The program emphasizes both learning and earning by guiding students while providing financial scholarships.
- Real-Life Experience: Students are connected to healthcare-related jobs, particularly in behavioral health. They also participate in paid educational workshops and reflective activities while remaining employed on campus.
- Tuition Grants: Participants have the chance to apply for tuition grants for summer study, enabling them to stay employed and complete additional credits towards graduation.
L+E will collaborate with various 人妻中出视频 of Utah clinics, including the South Main Clinic and SUPeRAD, to provide integrated behavioral health training and employment opportunities.
