Abstract
Policy Points Demand for behavioral health services outpaces the capacity of the existing workforce, and the unmet need for behavioral health services is expected to grow. This paper summarizes research and policy evidence demonstrating that the long-standing challenges that impede behavioral health workforce development and retention (i.e., low wages, high workloads, training gaps) are being replicated by growing efforts to expand the workforce through task-sharing delivery to nonspecialist behavioral health providers (e.g., peer specialists, promotores de salud). In this paper, we describe policy opportunities to sustain behavioral health workforce growth to meet demand while supporting fair wages, labor protections, and rigorous training.
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Energy Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of materials, engineering, chemistry, physics and biology relevant to energy conversion and storage. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important energy applications.
