The N.C. Department of Health & Human Services, Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services sent out a memo yesterday, June 17, to all local medical entities and directors, promoting the SON’s master’s and post-master’s degree psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program.
The letter highlights this program and its graduates as valuable contributors to the healthcare workforce who can accentuate and broaden the mental health services currently available to patients in the state.
According to SON faculty member Victoria Soltis-Jarrett, who coordinates the psych-mental health nurse practitioner program, the School will graduate 20 nurses with this degree this year. Over the next four years, she said she anticipates the program will produce a total of 100 graduates, all of whom are committed to meeting the mental health needs of North Carolina.
Local medical organizations or individuals interested in learning more about the program or its graduates should contact Soltis-Jarrett: (919) 843-8587 or vsoltis@email.unc.edu.
