BHARP Resources
BHARP and Community Care collaborate with providers and county stakeholders to support the implementation of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) practices. This page contains a list of providers that have earned the Trauma Informed Care Center Designation.
The Behavioral Health Higher Education Program (BHHEP) is a multi-pathway initiative developed by BHARP and its member counties to expand Pennsylvania’s behavioral health workforce. It provides two distinct opportunities for college students: a paid internship and tuition assistance, which may be pursued independently or together.
Qualified students begin with a paid internship at a behavioral health provider during their senior year. This hands-on experience helps build practical skills and a strong foundation for future employment.
Students interested in tuition assistance must also agree to a two-year post-graduation employment commitment with the same provider—strengthening workforce stability and access to care across the region. For their senior year, students may receive:
- Up to $20,000 for a bachelor’s-level program
- Up to $40,000 for a master’s-level program
