INTRODUCTION
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) supports the Minority
Fellowship Program (MFP) at the American Nurses Association. The MFP at ANA grew out of the lack of
mental health and substance abuse nurse professionals who could provide culturally competent care to an
increasingly diverse population with ever-expanding needs for substance abuse and mental health disorders
services, research, advocacy and policy development in local and national organizations and communities.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the MFP at ANA is to reduce health disparities and improve health care outcomes for racially
and ethnically diverse populations by increasing the number of culturally competent behavioral health
professionals available to underserved minority populations in the public and private non-profit sectors, and
in clinical and community-based organizations and institutions. MFP Fellows are trained in cultural sensitivity
and language skills as described by National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services
(CLAS) and as evidenced by their academic training, practice, dissertation completion, and selected
employment.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this Institute, participants will be able to:
1. Better understand their responsibility to become personally involved in effectively addressing the
elimination of health disparities and the nation’s most pressing behavioral health needs;
2. Articulate key issues related to SAMHSA’s mission and identify practical strategies that can be used to
enhance their Fellowship and facilitate their career development;
3. Increase public awareness on the unique behavioral health needs of children, adolescents and military
families where the burden of disease, disorder and despair infiltrate deeply;
4. Develop collaborative and long-term partnerships with MFP Alumni and other stakeholders as they
work toward acquiring the knowledge and skill sets necessary that can help address diversity issues in
the behavioral health workforce.

CONGRATULATIONS MFP GRADUATES
Class of 2014
Debbie Yong Stevens, PhD, MSN, PMHCNS-BC, successfully defended her
dissertation Spring of 2014 and graduated from Emory University Nell Hodgson
Woodruff School of Nursing. Her doctoral work with African-American caregivers
was selected by the Dean of Graduate Studies and featured on Emory University’s
website. She was also recognized by Emory’s school of nursing with the
outstanding PhD student award. Since graduation, Dr. Stevens has continued to
demonstrate her commitment to the psychiatric /mental health field. She is currently
a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Nicole C. Wertheim College of Nursing and Health Sciences
at Florida international University and practices within the Department of Psychiatry at Lakeland
Regional Health. Ms. Stevens is a dually certified Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist and Adult
Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in both acute care
and outpatient settings. During her PhD program Ms. Stevens was also a Janssan scholar of the

Association, International Society of Psychiatric Nurses and Sigma Theta Tau International.
Jacqueline Mosley, ScD, MPH, MSN, ACNP-BC graduated with a Doctorate
in Science (ScD) from Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical
Medicine on May 15, 2015, in New Orleans, LA. Her dissertation, The Economic
Burden of Comorbid Serious Mental Illness and Chronic Non-Communicable
Disease in Working Age Adults in the United States, consisted of an economic
analysis that applies Donabadien’s Quality Framework to identify specific
deficiencies in the structure of healthcare delivery and processes of care that
contribute to poor outcomes among minority geriatric patients with serious mental
illness and/or dementia who experience acute care hospitalization. A mix methods approach allowed
Dr. Mosley to include patients’ perspectives on the quality of medical care received and perceived
needs related to cognitive and medical outcomes. To augment her expertise in caring for patients
with complex psychiatric and physical health needs, Dr. Mosley is slated to complete the Psychiatric
Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Post Master Certificate Program at Eastern Kentucky University
in preparation for board certification that will enhance her existing research and psychiatric skills of
therapy, prescribing psychiatric medications and clinical management needed to treat underserved
patients with mental illness and chronic medical comorbidities.
