Summary of Request

Mendocino County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) has an established relationship with Humboldt State University (Cal Poly) in correlation with the Mentored Internship Program. BHRS previously partnered informally with Cal Poly in support of employees completing a Bachelor of Art in Social Work (BASW) degree and/or a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. Cal Poly recently developed the proposed 5-year broad clinical placement Agreement, which covers the placement of students within social work, and other allied health professional pathways. Social work accreditation standards have recently clarified that students may earn placement hours within the scope of paid duties, and this Agreement will help to facilitate this.
