In seminar format, students will work closely with the instructor, and with each other, to integrate and reflect on their previous coursework and experiences in the Working with Children and Adolescents concentration as well as areas of current interest to create a final research project. This course will help students to increase their mastery of theoretical and professional competencies in working with children and adolescents in school, family, or community settings. This course will also help students develop a sense of how this knowledge applies to professional practice and practical issues related to working with children and adolescents in community settings. This course will incorporate concepts such as current trends in working with children and adolescents, promoting well-being and resilience in children and families, risk and protective factors, addressing developmental assets and challenges facing youth, and crisis management, as well as prevention and intervention strategies.
