Interventions II

3 cr · Graduate

This course examines empirically-supported interventions ranging from primary through tertiary prevention/intervention efforts directed at individuals, groups, and families, as well as classroom- and school-based intervention and prevention programs to promote a range of adaptive outcomes (e.g., social competence, positive peer relations) and intervene in a range of maladaptive pathways (e.g., development of internalizing and externalizing problems and disorders). The course briefly introduces some specific programs available to assist in intervention design; however, the focus is on broad theoretical principles and aspects of evidence-based perspectives. Opportunities to integrate assessment and intervention will be presented throughout the course.
