For the past five years, the Washington State Health Care Authority’s Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, in partnership with Washington State University, has welcomed 32 passionate, inquisitive, and hardworking fellows into the DBHR Prevention Fellowship Program. The DBHR Prevention Fellowship is a paid 10-month opportunity to collaborate with Washington State's leaders in prevention and mental health promotion. Fellows play a pivotal role in the DBHR team, helping solve real world problems in prevention science, substance use prevention, and mental health promotion. Through these meaningful interactions, fellows gain invaluable insights into state, local, and community initiatives that profoundly impact the well-being of children, youth, and families across Washington State.


Fellowship Timeline

  *   Phase 1 (3 Months)
     *   Fellows work within the DBHR office in Olympia, Washington. During this phase, fellows gain an understanding of the statewide prevention system as well as attend a variety of professional development trainings. This phase requires a 40-hour/week commitment to a hybrid (i.e., remote with some in-person requirements) office job based in Olympia.
  *   Phase 2 (3 Months)
     *   Fellows are placed in an existing CPWI community in Washington State. During this phase, fellows are mentored by an existing CPWI Coalition Coordinator and spend time assisting the Coalition Coordinator in daily tasks. (Note: this requires temporarily relocating to the community.)
  *   Phase 3 (3-4 Months)
     *   Fellows are placed in a high-need community in Washington State. During this phase, fellows work with the community towards building capacity for their community prevention goals. (Note: this requires temporarily relocating to the community.)

Applicants with a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent years of relevant experience) in prevention science, social work, public health, public policy, communication, public administration, psychology, or any other related discipline are encouraged to apply!

"Land acknowledgements do not assuage settler institutions of their historical and ongoing theft of Indigenous Land. Simply acknowledging that an institution currently resides on the ancestral Lands of Indigenous peoples does not absolve it of its Land Back responsibilities."  - Amber Starks, Afro-Indigenous Artist & Activist (Mvskoke/Creek Citizen)
