Kaiser Permanente Mental Health Career Accelerator Kaiser Permanente Mental Health Career Accelerator Addressing the nation’s mental health workforce shortage Nearly 60 million people in the U.S. — about 1 in 5 — experience mental illness, yet the country has only one mental health provider for every 340 people. This shortage of providers contributes to over 122 million people living in a mental health workforce shortage area.
An important component of the workforce shortage is that 54% of people who earn master’s degrees in mental health face financial, time and regulatory barriers to clinical licensure that force them to walk away and never become licensed.
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and to increase the number of licensed clinicians available to serve clients, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing launched the Kaiser Permanente Mental Health Career Accelerator, funded by and developed in partnership with Kaiser Permanente .
This initiative aims to expand access to mental health care by increasing the number of qualified licensed clinicians who can provide mental health and substance use treatment to clients, while also building a workforce that better represents and understands the communities it serves. candidates supported toward clinical licensure across all markets.

C. Empowering the Next Generation of Clinicians “I wasn’t sure I had the capacity to pursue my LCSW. Just thinking about navigating all the requirements for licensure, coupled with life happenings, would lead me to burnout and self-doubt.
Within the program, I feel 100% supported, empowered and capable of achieving more than just this professional endeavor. I have access to mentorship, studying materials for the LCSW exam (which cost upwards of $1,000) and professional growth opportunities that I would have otherwise had to tirelessly search for and fund with the small budget I had as a new MSW graduate.
