BCSSW's Rocío Calvo appointed to Mass. Behavioral Health Advisory Commission
Boston College School of Social Work Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Rocío Calvo was appointed last fall to the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Advisory Commission by Governor Charlie Baker before he completed his term of office.
The commission will work to address barriers to the delivery of equitable, culturally competent, and clinically-appropriate behavioral health care. Its task will be to identify and assess the challenges facing the behavioral health workforce; examining the feasibility of increasing the behavioral health competency of mental health workers through training programs; and analyzing the factors that create or perpetuate disparities in health care.
The commission’s findings will determine its recommendations for the distribution of money in a newly established trust fund for behavioral health care, and prioritize the needs of communities that were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
