We created the Kaiser Permanente Mental Health Career Accelerator because the path to mental health licensure can be long, costly, and hard to navigate. Without help, many mental health graduates leave the field. Built in partnership with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, this program supports candidates on their journey to licensure through training, mentorship, and financial incentives. More than 160 graduates have participated so far, and this work continues to grow. Learn more: https://k-p.li/4vu4FNB.
