Description
MDHHS has allocated $3.5 million to create the Michigan Behavioral Health Internship Stipend Program (MI-BHISP). MI-BHISP financially supports future behavioral health providers by providing them with a stipend of up to $15,000 if they have an unpaid internship at a community mental health agency, PIHP, tribal health center/facility/program, or public school. Stipends can be used on tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. The program will fund between 230 and 700 interns.
