Overview
Strengthening the Bilingual Mental Health Workforce Initiative
Since August 2022, Illinois has received more than 41,000 men, women, and children who are categorized as “new arrivals.” To achieve desired health and well-being outcomes, new arrivals require a healthcare workforce that is culturally and linguistically reflective of the community being served, including behavioral health professionals. In response to this unmet and emerging need, ILCHF is issuing the request for proposals for the “STRENGTHENING THE BILINGUAL MENTAL HEALTH WORKFORCE INITIATIVE” grant opportunity. This initiative seeks to provide two-year grants of up to $100,000 each for nonprofit organizations that have the demonstrated capacity to provide bilingual clinical supervision to intermediate to fully bilingual advanced degree interns, or intermediate to fully bilingual recent graduates receiving clinical supervision hours towards their clinical licensure.
