In response to the unprecedented need for counseling professionals and the impact on the community of East Palestine since the train derailment, Insight Clinical Counseling and Wellness, LLC has partnered with Youngstown State University to launch the Insightful Empowerment Scholarship Program of East Palestine.

This scholarship program will allow Insight to provide funding for tuition, books, fees and parking for a masters level YSU student in the counseling or social work programs, not only to provide care to the residents of East Palestine, but also to eliminate barriers to treatment and strengthen the life of the chosen candidate with an opportunity for advanced education. The program will award 10 scholarships over the course of 10 years.

Scholarship recipients will also complete a professional internship at Insight where they will work with clients in the East Palestine area or surrounding communities.

Applications are now open until May 1, 2024 with the first recipient chosen for the Fall 2024 semester.

Insight has experienced firsthand the effects of the derailment with its office located just 0.2 miles from the accident and the influx of residents that have reached out to seek treatment. From day one, Insight has advocated to ensure citizens of East Palestine and our surrounding communities have the quality mental health care that is critical during a crisis. With this scholarship, Insight is taking that commitment one step further by investing in the next generation of mental health professionals who can continue this important work in our communities.

Founded in 2020, Insight offers a full continuum of services including behavioral health, mood disorders, mental health, trauma and PTSD for individuals of all ages with eight locations and a team of 87 mental health and wellness professionals helping individuals, couples and families throughout the Valley.
