Training Goals of the Y.E.S.S. Program

  • Enhancing students’ knowledge and skills associated with delivering and evaluating evidence-based practices in community settings,
     
  • Develop competencies related to interdisciplinary consultation and collaboration in the context of university-community partnerships,
     
  • Preparing students for practice in rural communities,
     
  • Exposing trainees to innovative technology (video-conferencing),
     
  • Retaining trained professionals in Ohio and in rural communities across the nation.

Providing effective services in the context of schools requires a unique skill set. School-based delivery of services requires much more than simply moving mental health services under a new roof. It's about engaging in collaborative, interdisciplinary assessment, analysis, treatment planning, decision-making, intervention, and evaluation. To build competencies required in this service delivery model, students engage in a variety of innovative training experiences.
