UTCSW MSSW student Jazzmin Mitchell was recently selected for the CSWE Minority Fellowship Program (MFP). The MFP aims to reduce health disparities and improve mental healthcare outcomes for racially and ethnically diverse populations by increasing the number of culturally competent mater’s level behavioral health professionals available to serve racial/ethnic minority populations.

Over the next twelve months, the fellows will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field, gather meaningful skills and insights, and network with like-minded students.

The fellowship is an incredible training and professional development opportunity supported by grant funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The fellowship award is for master’s social work students who demonstrate a strong commitment to addressing the mental health needs of BIPOC individuals, groups, and communities. It offers fellows access to an ever-growing network of fellowship participants and alumni, specialized training, a quarterly stipend, mentorship, and professional development support.
