Associate of Applied Science in Behavioral Health Support

In 2014, the Missouri Behavioral Health Council collaborated with the Missouri Department of Mental Health to strategically address the critical workforce shortage of case manager positions statewide.

One result of this collaboration is the creation of a new Associate of Applied Science degree in Behavioral Health Support. It aims to educate and prepare future generations for success in the behavioral health workforce within the behavioral health safety-net system.
