Healing Training Grants

The CCH offers Healing Training Grants, a funding opportunity for employees across the MGB system.

The goal of this initiative is to expand the whole-person healing skillset of MGB employees by supporting evidence-informed training opportunities that can be integrated into clinical and community-based settings.

These grants help cover the costs of professional training in healing practices that support personal and professional development. Funding may be used to support an individual’s participation in training or to enable recipients to offer training to others within the MGB system.
