Welcome Current and Future Facilitators!
The Y.E.S.S. Program has been implemented by graduate student clinicians from Ohio University's Departments of Psychology and Social Work, as well as by school guidance counselors and community mental health center case managers.
With regard to graduate training, one of the goals of the Child Specialty Area within the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program is to provide experiential training opportunities that prepare students for research and clinical practice in an interdisciplinary climate.
With regard to professional development for school and community staff, the Y.E.S.S. Program training initiatives are intended to build local capacity for understanding and implementing evidence-based practices, improving school mental health programming, and enhancing access to quality care for youth and families in rural communities.
Broadly speaking, the training experiences are designed to create an environment where students and professionals from multiple disciplines can interface to enhance school mental health partnerships, services, and research.
