The capacity building center will provide in-person and online training and workforce development opportunities for individuals providing behavioral health services to children, youth and families in the public behavioral health system. The primary goal of these educational opportunities is to expand workforce capacity and improve access to and quality of children’s behavioral health services.

“Everyone deserves access to quality health care where and when they need it,” said Elizabeth Hertel, MDHHS director. “The goal of the capacity building center is to improve the ability of the state’s behavioral health workforce to provide care to Michigan families.”

Michigan universities and nonprofit organizations with expertise in establishing training programs in behavioral health services for children, youth and families across multiple disciplines are encouraged to bid on this RFP.

The submission date for this RFP is 3 p.m., Wednesday, March 6. 

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the SIGMA Vendor Self-Service (VSS) system. 

To bid on solicitations, vendors must first be registered with SIGMA VSS. There is no charge to register. The RFP can be located by searching for “Training Service and Workforce Development for the MDHHS Capacity Building Center.”
