QTT FY24 Expanding Agency Program

The Qualified Treatment Trainee (QTT) Grants Program is intended to increase the number of placements available to post-graduate QTTs within the state of Wisconsin. Program goals include increasing agency capacity to hire and supervise QTTs, providing agency resources on best practices in supervision, and investing in ongoing supervision development. The QTT Grants Program includes professional development opportunities designed to allow all QTT supervisors, regardless of experience level, the chance to improve, review, and refresh their supervisory professional development. The QTT Grants Program also includes evaluation and self-assessment components. These components will allow the creation of a broad picture of current practices and statewide needs for the development of future trainings. Assessment components also provide a structure for the self-reflection on incorporation of best practices.

Who is eligible: Wisconsin mental health agencies that currently hire or may hire post-graduate QTTs
