The goals were to develop an innovative new secondary program for the State of Florida in Behavioral Health as
a prevention mechanism and to increase diversity and inclusion in healthcare by creating a robust curriculum
to prepare students for this field of study aligned with industry needs, to increase Florida students’ access to a
Behavioral Health career pathway, and to assist with the critical shortage of healthcare providers nationwide.
