Work started with describing the current state of the workforce. We partnered with The Collaborative Trust for Research and Training in Youth Health and Development to gather and review information to describe the current state of the existing SBHS workforce and how they experienced the day-to-day challenges and saw opportunities for improvement. The work was captured in the report on current state of the SBHS workforce and also informed the report on what the SBHS workforce needs to be in the future.
