This program provides varied academic, research, and practical experiences in areas such as pediatric psychological assessment, youth mental health interventions, adolescent wellness, and childhood social dynamics. Primary therapeutic approaches include Acceptance-Based, Behavioral Family Systems, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Culturally-Adapted methods.
