MFC 550 - MFT’s in Community Mental Health

Credits: 2

This course defines the role of Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT’s) in community mental health care and provides knowledge and skills to adequately fulfill the functions of that role. Special attention is given to culturally-relevant mental health assessment and treatment, recovery and wellness models, strength-based treatment planning and the reintegration of clients (consumers) in family and social systems.  The course will also emphasize professional self-care and examine public service as a professional career for MFT’s.
