Workforce Needs Assessment: Mental & Behavioral Health (2020)

This 2020 report presents findings on the need for training and education for mental and behavioral health (MBH) workers.

The North/Far North Center of Excellence (COE) conducted an analysis of the labor market, the quality of job opportunities, pathway opportunities, and education and training offerings to better understand the Sacramento region’s MBH workforce. The study examines five job categories: miscellaneous entry-level and paraprofessional MBH occupations; social workers; clinical counselors and psychologists; psychiatric technicians; and psychiatrists.

Valley Vision and partners are working across the region to address the key findings from this assessment as part of our Capital Region Workforce Action Plan activities.
