Samuel Merritt University, Oakland
The Behavioral Health Undergraduate Summit was a unique opportunity to gain experience, training and professional development in the behavioral healthcare field. This two-week summer program provided a participation stipend and a combination of workshops, tours, and guest speakers to advance participants toward their career goals.
Through a combination of workshops, tours and guest speakers, participants built their professional network and gain skills which will advance their personal career goals. Students also learned how to become successful at ending stigma in their own communities. We had access to facilities and professionals who do this work every day and learned from their stories of resilience and recovery.
