OHA has opened its first round of solicitations for the Clinical Supervision Program. This solicitation intends to provide financial awards to expand clinical supervision for behavioral health providers working toward licensure, particularly for Tribal members, members of Black communities, other communities of color and individuals who identify as LGBTQIA2S+.
HB 2949 provides $20 million for grants that support supervised clinical experience to associates or other individuals who have the necessary education but need supervised clinical experience to obtain a license to practice. This first round of funding will offer up to $3.5 million for community mental health programs and $3.5 million for private behavioral health providers.
The solicitation RFGP 5327 Behavioral Health Workforce Initiative Clinical Supervision Expansion (OregonBuys# S-44300-00001537) is posted on OregonBuys:
