Mental Health Service Corps

City implementation partner: NYC Health + Hospitals

The Mental Health Service Corps (MHSC) is a workforce development program that aims to build a diverse generation of mental health clinicians, equipped to integrate behavioral health into a variety of settings including primary care, women’s health, pediatrics, and other non-behavioral health care settings. Early-career clinicians receive intensive training in evidence-based practices and are placed throughout the NYC Health + Hospitals system with the goal of emerging from the three-year program seasoned and adept clinicians. Under the supervision of licensed clinicians, this intensive and innovative training experience will allow Corps Members to work effectively within interdisciplinary teams and prepared to screen, assess, and treat patients in a culturally competent manner.
