Due to the growing need for mental health support in many Ohio communities, the state developed the Great Minds Fellowship program for colleges to offer students approach
As a result, Youngstown State University was awarded just over $2 million to begin offering the Great Minds Fellowship to students enrolled in the social work and counseling programs. Since receiving the grant in Fall 2023, the YSU Social Work & Counseling programs have worked with its faculty and students and community partners to utilize this award.
