Whether a psychologist, social worker psychiatrist, or school counselor -- whatever helping role we are in -- the need for other resources, opportunities, and professionals is essential to enhance the development of our young people. Whether it’s an art program, study abroad tutoring, or unique leadership opportunities.  If selected responsibly, it can significantly advance our own work with our clients or youth.

 

As with many mental health professionals, I have simultaneously worked in community-based organizations designed to assist youth grow into mature adults. Often the model used a positive youth development model. This approach differs significantly from the approach and training of clinicians. They are often require different set of roles, boundaries, and methods.
