Illinois has been an established welcoming state to New Arrivals, such as immigrants, refugees, and asylees with pockets of immigrant communities across the state.
In order to achieve desired health and well-being outcomes, new arrivals require a health care workforce that is culturally and linguistically reflective of the community being served, including behavioral health professionals. As a response to these unmet and emerging needs, Illinois Children’s Healthcare Foundation (ILCHF) has issued the “Strengthening the Bilingual Mental Health Workforce Initiative” Request for Proposal (RFP).
Through this initiative, ILCHF seeks to award three 2-year grants of up to $100,000 each for nonprofit organizations, located and/or operating in Illinois. This statewide grant opportunity is available to nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations that have demonstrated capacity to provide bilingual clinical supervision to intermediate to fully bilingual advance degree interns, or intermediate to fully bilingual recent graduates receiving clinical supervision hours towards their clinical licensure.
Applications are due Friday, October 18 by 5 p.m. For more information, please contact Christine Brambila, Senior Program Officer, Children’s Mental Health at ChristineBrambila@Ilchf.org and/or visit https://ilchf.org.
