Blue Shield’s $500,000 investment will help train and equip 36 interns in hopes they become the next generation of diverse mental and behavioral health professionals in the Golden State.

This commitment is part of Blue Shield’s BlueSky initiative, a multi-year effort to enhance access, awareness, and advocacy for youth mental health supports. As part of that goal, BlueSky is creating more career pathways for diverse mental and behavioral health professionals, who can provide culturally affirming services for members of the BIPOC community (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).
