Case Western Reserve’s Mandel School signs new partnerships, The Daily, CWRU
Highly trained social workers are at the forefront of addressing a significant mental and behavioral health need in Northeast Ohio—especially the opioid epidemic, in which Ohio ranks among the worst in the nation.
Promoting skilled workforce development in behavioral health is partly what’s driving new strategic partnerships forged among four area nonprofit organizations and Case Western Reserve University’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences.
The Mandel School recently signed the four new agreements with service providers— FrontLine Service, Bellefaire JCB, Murtis Taylor Human Services and the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities (DD)—to recruit and train diverse students for its Master of Social Work (MSW) program, ranked No. 9 in the country and No. 1 in Ohio. Prospective students will be eligible for 50% scholarships.
