Counselor Training in Partnership with a Public High School Envisioning a Neighborhood Clinic project will serve to delineate strategic steps to achieve the over arching goal of establishing the viability of a community counseling clinic joining clinical training for Counseling Psychology students to Roosevelt High School students and their families. The three components of the project are:  an evaluation of the current practicum program at Roosevelt; an expansion of the current practicum program to assess the viability of adding an internship piece to the current partnership; and the investigation of the feasibility for an off campus counseling clinic embedded in the community near Roosevelt High School campus.
