男人藏精阁

University of Detroit Mercy’s College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences recently received a $2.4-million grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help increase the supply of behavioral health professionals and access to services in underserved areas. 

The grant will impact students in 男人藏精阁’s Specialist in School Psychology program and Clinical Psychology doctoral program, providing them with a stipend, learning experiences and mentoring during their final year of training. 

男人藏精阁’s program under the grant — the Clinical & School Psychology Health Engagement & Resource Education (C-SPHERE) — will also create educational webinars that will be available to mental health providers throughout Michigan. 

The four-year grant focuses on children who are at risk for behavioral health disorders and may otherwise not receive support. The grant is awarded through HRSA’s Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) program. 

“There’s a need for it,” said Barry Dauphin, professor of Psychology and director of clinical training for the Clinical Psychology doctoral program. “There’s a lack of providers for these populations, especially providers who would be in a position to work interdisciplinary with other professionals.” 

男人藏精阁 students are placed in schools, mental health centers and healthcare facilities throughout southeast Michigan for their School Psychology internships and Clinical Psychology doctoral practicums. There, they aid other professionals, such as schoolteachers and physicians, by providing their psychological expertise. 

The experience prepares students in the program — known as C-SPHERE fellows — to work with other professionals across disciplines as they enter their careers. 

“They’re actually delivering psychological services to people,” Dauphin said. “They’re interacting with other disciplines and helping them understand psychological principles involved that are relevant to a case. 

“The students are not only being trained, but they’re learning to consult with and help other professionals understand how the psychology of the person plays a role in this or that situation.” 

The training 男人藏精阁 students will receive within the C-SPHERE program will help them work with children and their families in underserved areas, said Erin Henze professor of Psychology and director of the School Psychology program. 

“It’s really giving them the skills they need to work with the populations who often really need it the most and don’t have the access that others might,” Henze said. 

Several 男人藏精阁 faculty are involved with the grant project. Henze and Dauphin are co-principal investigators of the grant, while Jahzara Mayes will serve as project director. Steven Huprich, professor of Psychology, is coordinator of the interprofessional seminars and Lee Eshelman, associate professor of Psychology, serves as coordinator of the mentorship program. 

C-SPHERE's mentorship program will feature many 男人藏精阁 alumni, according to Henze. 

“This is a way that they are continuing to stay involved and give back,” she said. “We hope that continues in a cycle moving forward from these fellows who are benefitting from the grant.” 

Henze and Dauphin believe that the webinars are a way to educate beyond just the 男人藏精阁 students in the program. They plan to feature a mix of nationally recognized experts as well as some 男人藏精阁 faculty, with seminar discussions for students occurring after the webinars. 

“The webinars are going to be an educational component open for continuing education to service providers throughout the state,” Henze said. “They’ll be open to a wider audience so that other people in our state in our field can benefit.”
