Who We Are

Join us for the Behavioral Health Education and Employment Roundtable, where our vision, "Building Bridges, Empowering Futures," comes to life. This roundtable is a collaborative alliance between academia and behavioral health employers, designed to address workforce gaps and cultivate a resilient, robust workforce. We welcome participants from high school and higher education programs, behavioral health supervisors, and employers to engage in meaningful discussions. Together, we aim to forge strong connections that empower the next generation of behavioral health professionals. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative conversation at our quarterly roundtable.  ​

History

The Behavioral Health Education and Employment Roundtable started as a virtual project in 2021 by The Network of Behavioral Health Providers. We connected academia and employers virtually and through the collaborative, hosted our first Behavioral Health Internship and Practicum Fair in September 2022. In 2024, the roundtable was re-envisioned to be led by three committee co-chairs: Chelsey Gutierrez (NBHP), Diane Arms (The Council on Recovery) and Kamari Brewer (Atlas Scholars) with three subcommittees: Robust Workforce, Continued Connections and Trainings.
