Fathers’ UpLift US Therapist Recruitment (USTR) Fellowship

Advancing the next generation of diverse therapists in the US

The Fathers’ UpLift’s United States Therapist Recruitment (USTR) Fellowship exists to increase the number of BIPOC therapists in the mental health, behavioral health, and addictions field. Each year, 14 USTR Fellows are accepted from students attending graduate schools at accredited colleges & universities in the United States of America. Twelve fellows are selected from the state of Massachusetts, while two remaining fellows are chosen from other states. All second-year Masters’ level students required to complete a field practicum are strongly encouraged to apply.

As USTR Fellows, each member of this cohort has received and/or will receive:

  • A $15,000 USTR Fellowship stipend.
  • Funded Licensure Test Prep: Free Enrollment in a notable Licensure Preparation Course (Post Graduation).
  • Therapist Development & Mentorship: Access to a group of trained therapists to cultivate their learning and growth in the mental health, behavioral health, and addiction fields.
  • Access to Guest Lectures: A series of guest lecturers join USTR Fellows to discuss Theoretical Frameworks created by scholars from diverse communities. Time is also spent on culturally appropriate interventions and skill building topics.
  • Employment Opportunities: Fathers’ UpLift will connect each Fellow to Employers ready & willing to hire upon graduation.
