In response to America’s youth mental health crisis, Michigan is joining forces with 10 other states, the Schultz Family Foundation, Pinterest and AmeriCorps to recruit, train, and deploy the nation’s first Youth Mental Health Corps to help young people access critical mental health resources. The Corps will address the growing needs of young people while creating career pathways to address the national shortage of mental-health professionals. Corps members will be trained as navigators serving middle and high school students in schools and community-based organizations. Corps members will gain valuable on-the-job experience, receive a stipend, and earn credentials to advance their career. They will also be eligible for education awards to pursue higher education or pay back qualifying student loans.
