Description:

Isis Garcia is working on a project in collaboration with Best Start for Kids, Community Well Being Initiative, Zero Youth Detention, and School Based Health Centers called “Landscape Assessment of the Youth Behavioral Health Workforce in King County”. The purpose of this project is to understand the strengths and challenges that the youth behavioral health workforce is experiencing in regard to the recruitment and retention of diverse youth-serving behavioral health providers and alternative healers. The population focus of this project is BIPOC and LGBTQ youth and young adults between the age of 5 and 24. This project aims to inform future programmatic and policy work in improving diversity and representation of the workforce to support and improve youth mental health in King County.

The data collection process entails conducting focus groups with local traditional and alternative behavioral health providers in King County. The final deliverable will be a final report with programmatic and policy recommendations that will be shared with partners in King County.
