Licensure Equity Achievement Program (LEAP)
The Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (MassLeague) is administering the Licensure Equity Achievement Program in partnership with Mass General Brigham (MGB). LEAP's core mission is to ensure equal access to licensure opportunities by eliminating barriers hindering diverse individuals from becoming licensed behavioral health professionals. When reviewing pass rates for behavioral health licensing exams, it has been well documented that there are disparities among racial groups, individuals who speak English as a second language, and those who are 32 years and older. These disparities are linked to inequitable access to economical, educational, and social resources that LEAP aims to address by providing funding to access testing resources, one on one coaching, and peer support groups. Please find additional program and application information included in our Program Overview and Program Flyer linked below.
Applications for this program are accepted on a rolling basis. We anticipate awarding 66 individuals per cycle for two cycles of this program. Please find the link to the application below.
