Internship in ECMH & Behavioral Consultation

This course is designed for students to put into practice the knowledge and skills they have acquired in the early childhood mental health and behavioral consultation certification program. Students will complete and log a minimum of 300 supervised hours in either an early childhood mental health setting or in behavioral consultation. Students will work with both a faculty instructor and an on-site supervisor. This is the capstone course of the certification program, and successful completion will be measured by feedback from faculty instructor, site supervisor, and completion of class requirements. Because this class requires work with a special population, students will be held to a high standard of ethical behavior and clinical competence. Any concern about ethical or competent behavior by either instructor or site supervisor will result in a concerned person conference. Results of that conference could include, but are not limited to, a request that the student retake identified courses, retake internship at another time, a suggestion for personal therapy, or the student could be dropped from the program.
