“The folks who historically have enough access, support and resources to do advanced study do not always align with the demographics of our patients population. Having a therapist with a shared identity and shared life experiences brings so much value to the care we’re able to provide to our patients. The Training Fund allows us to invest in our careers and better serve our patients.”
