Social Work Practicum Education

Social Work Practicum Education Description:

CAPS offers an unpaid part-time (20 hours per week) practicum education to masters level social work students in area training programs. Trainees can expect to carry a caseload of 6-8 individual therapy clients and will gain experience in conducting brief assessments with students seeking CAPS services for level and urgency of need. Trainees also have opportunities to co-lead psychotherapy groups and outreach workshops for CAPS. Trainees participate in weekly didactic seminars, and receive an hour of individual supervision and an hour of group supervision a week.  Practicum education starts in September and runs for two or three consecutive semesters depending on trainee's academic program.

Experience Needed:

The ideal candidate will have previous clinical experience preferably with adult clients. 

Application Process:

Application procedures are managed by individual academic programs. For more information email Patricia Dixon, LMSW patriciadixon@wayne.edu
