Which program funds workforce development for behavioral health professions, including training, scholarships, and pipeline programs?

• A. Behavioral Health - HCAI
• B. SWP
• C. LAEP
• D. WIOA

Answer: (A)

Building a skilled behavioral health workforce depends on targeted funding for training, scholarships, and pipeline programs that move people into these careers. The Behavioral Health - HCAI program is designed specifically for this purpose, providing funds to support training and to create and sustain pipelines into behavioral health professions, including scholarships and related pathways. The other options are broader or unrelated: one is a general workforce development program not exclusive to behavioral health, another acronym refers to programs outside this context, and another is a broad federal act that funds workforce development across many sectors rather than focusing on the behavioral health field. So the behavioral health-focused HCAI option best matches the described use of funds.
