Staff Development
The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) Staff Development Program uses Workforce Development Education and Training (WET) funding to strengthen the behavioral health workforce's capacity. Because of the critical workforce shortages in behavioral health, the Mental Health Services Act is structured, so funds can be used to train, develop, and recruit a diverse workforce, including persons served, family members, licensed professionals, and others who are qualified to deliver person served-driven, recovery-oriented, strengths-based services.
In concert, the DBH Staff Development Program coordinates training for both the Mental Health Plan and Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System staff and its provider network to support the professional development of our workforce.
DBH Contracted Providers: To view current training opportunities, see the 3-month training calendar on the Contracted Provider’s Notifications & Associated Documents web page.
