  , FO 647  and 29 credits. This course affords students the unique opportunity to provide service in the community. In this course, students will study the process of therapeutic change that is facilitated through clinical interactions in the context of interventions using an ecological systems model (i.e., systems or relationships that impact the individual). Specifically, students will engage in therapeutic services within a forensic system or with a particular forensic population through community initiatives at The Chicago School Forensic Center. Students will learn by providing direct service and receiving live supervision from faculty. Students will learn to utilize assessment measures for case planning purposes. In addition, students will learn to interface with agencies and referral sources for the purpose of continuity of care, documentation of case progress, and providing recommendations that directly impact systems. * This course is optional; semester hours do not count towards program completion.
