Brittany Orlandi, advanced year MSW student, has been selected for this prestigious national fellowship--the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Minority Fellowship Program-Youth (MFP-Y) master’s student fellowship for the 2015-2016 academic year.

The MFP-Y fellowship for advanced social work master’s students is funded by a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The fellowship provides training and financial and professional development supports. Applicants must be direct-practice focused students committed to providing mental health services to at-risk children, adolescents, and young adults (aged 16–25) in underserved minority communities.

MFP-Y fellows attend a training on March 6-8, 2016 in Alexandria, Virginia and participate in virtual webinars throughout the fellowship year. SSU SSWK is very proud of Brittany's achievement. Her summer 2016 internship will be with youth transitioning from the foster care system to young adulthood.
