The School Based Mental Health certificate is designed to enhance the skill sets of school psychologists and other school-based mental health practitioners in the areas of school-based mental health services as articulated by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).
This two-year certificate program utilizes an executive format model: classes occur during the evenings and weekends.
School-based mental health focuses primarily on:
- building skills,
- assessing deficits,
- preventing problems, and
- nurturing strengths among culturally and ethnically diverse preschoolers, school-age children, and adolescents.
Our two-year certificate program is designed to provide master’s level practitioners with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to conduct culturally informed, short-term group and individual counseling within the schools.
