BOSTON – Westfield State University was awarded $400,000 by the Healey-Driscoll Administration last week to provide financial support for behavioral health students completing unpaid internships and field placements.
“We consider our state university system extensions of support structures that provide essential resources and develop plans to address the health needs of our citizens,” WSU President Dr. Linda Thompson said in a prepared statement about the university’s award.
“The subsidies issued by the Healy-Driscoll Administration, through the Behavior Health Trust Fund, are a strong example of government, education and the behavioral health sector partnering to serve a critical need in our communities,” she said.
