Join the Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) for our upcoming Recruitment & Retention of Mental Health Staff Community of Practice. Building on the success of the previous programs, ACU’s STAR² Center team will provide a focused look at the most pertinent topics affecting the successful recruitment and retention of mental health providers. This  community of practice will consist of four sessions held on May 6, May 20, June 3, and June 17 from 3:00-4:15 PM EST. This learning experience will provide attendees with a general overview of the different components that make up a strong recruitment and retention strategy for mental health providers and staff including exploring topics such as understanding the different types of mental health providers and their roles, compensation and benefits, marketing and job announcements, and pathway and career development.

Sessions will take place on Wednesdays May 6, May 20, June 3, and June 17 from 3-4:15 PM ET. This program is free of charge for accepted health center participants.

Deadline extended! Please complete the application by May 1*. Participants will be notified about their conditional acceptance on May 4. (*Any applicants who applied by the original April 24 deadline will be notified on April 27.)

To confirm acceptance, health center leadership will need to acknowledge and commit to the cohort member’s participation by May 5. If you have questions, please contact Mariah Blake at mblake@clinicians.org or 703-577-3327.
