The Children Youth and Families integrative seminar will focus on the multiple systems that affect young people and their families and the best practices to promote their healthy development. Through a variety of methods including presentations from community partners, agency visits, presentations by faculty, and readings, students will be introduced to a number of conceptual frameworks that inform current practice. Over the course of the academic year, students will have the opportunity to apply these frameworks to a topic and project of their choosing, which will demonstrate their competency in advanced clinical, macro, or policy practice with children, youth, and families.
