- Complete supervised tasks related to individual counseling case management group counseling.
Second year trainee students:
- Typically work 34 days a week with 1 to 3 hours of weekly direct supervision (Per Board of Behavioral Sciences 2 units of supervision to collect premasters MFT hours).
- Complete tasks related to individual/group counseling with increasing independence in managing caseload over the school year including increasing capacity for billing on eligible students with open MediCal cases.
- Build and strengthen professional skills (e.g. caseload management crisis support meeting facilitation teamwork consultation assessment and treatment planning documentation).
Placement is available in elementary middle and high schools and is based on supervisor assignment. Traineeship experiences will be based on university program requirements but students will generally have the opportunity to observe and practice the daily tasks credentialed BHS perform. Experiences include but are not limited to shadowing/observing daily Behavior Health Therapist (BHS) activities; IEP meetings; consulting with teachers/staff/parents; individual/group counseling; Medical billing/clinical documentation; observing/completing assessments; and attending school and department staff meetings/trainings.
