Plymouth State University plans to develop and initiate a four-year-long program using federal grant money in the amount of $1.56 million with the goal of bolstering the behavioral health workforce and increasing substance disorder treatment.
The PAROT or Plymouth-Area Rural Opioid Training Collaborative is designed to support the development of workforce as well as professional training that will respond to northern New Hampshire’s behavioral health provider shortage. The funding it will receive is from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). PSU’s Social Work program will be in charge of the PAROT Collaborative working in collaboration with Lakes Regional Mental Health Center, Archways and Mid-State Health Center.
Brochure printing services can provide students with university program descriptions.
The PAROT Collaborative has two primary initiatives. The MOUD Community of Practice involves the sharing of expertise and the construction of a network of peer support designed to increase access to MOUD (medication for opioid use disorder). The Behavioral Health Fellowship provides financial assistance for education in the classroom, and also for practical work with nearby behavioral health partners for no more than five PSU Social Work students over two semesters.
The PAROT Collaborative program will for the initial year give all seniors in the PSU Social Work program a modified student training program as well as assessing the various MOUD access barriers. Years 2-4 of the program will be dedicated to the inauguration and support of MOUD Community of Practice.
