Event to celebrate the accomplishments of future behavioral health leaders and raise funds for student scholarships

Newton, Mass. 鈥� May 1, 2018 鈥� 91香蕉视频成人在线 (WJC), a leader in educating the next generation of behavioral health professionals, announced it will host a Celebration of Student Scholars on Thursday, May 3 from 7:00-9:00 pm at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Mass. The event will raise money for 91香蕉视频成人在线鈥檚 Annual Fund for Student Scholarships and celebrate the work and aspirations of current students.

The event celebrates WJC scholarship recipients who share the College鈥檚 commitment to addressing the unmet behavioral health needs of underserved populations such as veterans, racial and ethnic minorities, or the elderly. For example, students enrolled in its Military and Veterans Psychology program are part of WJC鈥檚 effort to ensure that behavioral health professionals are more responsive to the warrior culture and better able to help reverse the unacceptably high rates of veteran suicide. Other programs represented include the Black Mental Health Graduate Academy and the Lucero Latino Mental Health Program, each of which are focused on growing the number of behavioral health professionals who self-identify as a minority, which hovers around 10% nationally and 6% in Massachusetts.

鈥淲e look forward to celebrating the important work of our students, the next generation of behavioral health professionals,鈥� said Nick Covino, president of William James College. 鈥淭here is a dire need to expand the mental health workforce, and William James College continues to address this need by providing more than $1.5 million of well-deserved scholarship funding, annually, to our students who work out of compassion to improve our communities.鈥�
