Behavioral Health Network, Inc. has partnered with the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts to manage the Staff Excellence Fund. The fund was established to support the career and professional development of BHN's workforce and to assist in achieving Social Justice objectives.

The Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts shared a Community Story on its website explaining the staff challenges the fund works to address and why investing in our staff's education and career goals at BHN is a top priority.

The fund will be structured as an endowment so that it can continue to benefit BHN staff for the foreseeable future. Team members can apply for funds for any kind of professional training or educational opportunity. The money can be used to pay for actual training, licensing fees, or auxiliary expenses that go along with training. These include costs for childcare while in class, books, and transportation.
