Triad Partners CCBHC-T to Advance Community Behavioral Health Careers

Triad, the B2B platform of Level Education Group, a leading provider of education, community, and career solutions for behavioral health and nursing professionals, announced its partnership with the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Transformation (CCBHC-T) Workforce Accelerator program, a national initiative focused on expanding the behavioral health workforce in Illinois, Kansas and Michigan. As the primary partner-facing platform, Triad connects employers, institutions, and organizations to scalable workforce development solutions. Through this partnership, AATBS, a Level Education Group brand, will provide comprehensive licensure exam preparation to clinicians pursuing careers in community-based behavioral health settings.

Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) play a critical role in delivering accessible mental health and substance use services, particularly for underserved and high-need populations. Did you know 137 million people lived in areas last year where there was a shortage of mental health professionals? That was up 12% from 122 million in 2024, according to Health Resources and Services Administration data. This program strengthens that model by building a pipeline of licensed clinicians prepared to serve in these settings.

The Workforce Career Accelerator operates as a scholarship-based program for selected participants. Recipients receive financial incentives valued up to $8,500, along with comprehensive support including licensure exam preparation and exam fee coverage, candidate peer discussions, employment site training and technical assistance, and a structured professional development curriculum.

The program is funded by Ballmer Group through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, which brings over a decade of CCBHC expertise and a proven track record in advancing community-based care.
