## Additional Information Agency Name:Health Resources and Services Administration Description:The purpose of the BHWET Program for Paraprofessionals is to develop and expand community-based experiential training such as field placements and internships to increase the skills, knowledge and capacity of students preparing to become mental health workers, peer support specialists, and other behavioral health paraprofessionals.
The program has a special focus on developing knowledge and understanding of the needs of children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth who have experienced trauma and are at risk for behavioral health disorders including anxiety, depression, and substance use disorder.
The program also emphasizes developmental opportunities and educational support in interprofessional collaboration by using team-based care in integrated behavioral health and primary care settings to improve the distribution of a well-trained behavioral health workforce. The program also aims to recruit a workforce that is interested in serving high need and high demand areas.
For the purpose of this NOFO, all training will be separated into two levels: • Level 1: Pre-service: Includes didactic and experiential field training. • Level 2: In-service (optional): Training at a registered Department of Labor apprenticeship site.
All paraprofessional training that does not fall under the definition of a registered apprenticeship will be defined as Level 1: Pre-service training as further explained in Program Requirements and Expectations. Registered apprenticeships (Level 2) are not a program requirement. You are not required to implement Level 2 in your proposal to be considered eligible for this program.
If you are implementing Level 2 in your proposed training project, you can receive an additional 5 points in Criteria 2: Response/Approach. Link to Additional Information:[](https://www. grants.

HHS announced $102 million in New Access Points awards on August 13, 2026 — 158 health centers, more than 415 new sites, nearly 1 million more patients. That works out to roughly $246,000 per site, which does not build a clinic. Here is what the award actually buys, why the real selection happened before applications were scored, and what unfunded applicants should do next.
Read articleThe FY2026 Rural Health Network Advancement Program (HRSA-26-082) offers six awards of roughly $500,000 to help independent rural hospitals and clinics form integrated networks without surrendering local ownership.
