Participants and Alumni
Congratulations on your participation in the Mental Health Stipend Program! Thank you for your commitment to public mental health in California.
Program Requirements
As a participant in the program, you are required to complete your second-year internship and one year of post-graduation employment in agencies that meet the following criteria:
- In county mental health agencies OR
- In agencies that contract with county mental health (Dr. Taylor will distribute lists of contractors to graduating students in the Spring quarter.)
Additionally, positions cannot be:
- In inpatient settings, jails, or prisons
- With involuntary clients
You also need to take an elective each quarter (2 electives total in your second year) and participate in the CalSWEC-II seminar (first quarter). One of the electives must be SW 6550 Psychosocial Rehabilitation. Please note that if you miss mandatory community forums or other required department activities, your stipend check may be delayed. Finally, it is critical that you stay in touch with the CalSWEC-II Program Coordinator until your employment obligation is fulfilled. Though not required, it is very helpful for alumni who have completed their obligations to maintain contact as well; your participation in alumni surveys and departmental activities (eg. mock interviews, guest presentations, etc.), is very appreciated.
