Consultation Based Interventions

Catalog description

Focuses on training students to change the way that schools/clinics relate to families at an organizational level. Students will be trained to establish systemic programs that cement family-school partnerships. Each student develops a specific project on the externship site that increases the systemic contact between families and school/clinic setting. There is a strong emphasis on understanding families from multiple ethnoracial backgrounds. This course expands the student's definition of the role of a psychologist beyond someone who works with individual children and families, to include the role of organization change agent. Prerequisite(s): PSS 6221 .
