Governor Lamont CT Health Horizons Program

The State of CT has initiated a new program, to attract increased enrollment in MSW programs and nursing schools. The CT Health Horizons program will utilize $35 million to expand opportunities for students, with an emphasis on equity, to attain their MSW or nursing degree. NASW/CT applauds the Lamont administration for starting program. We also have communicated with the Governor that the need of the social work workforce goes beyond training for new graduates. Our letter outlines specific recommendations that we call upon the Lamont administration to undertake in support to the current social work workforce.
