Hosted and led by
the Department of Psychology at the FAS, the Initiative for Mental health, Psychology, and Advanced Clinical Training (IMPACT) is an umbrella
initiative that provides excellence in training and continuing education
in various areas of scientific and applied psychology, with particular emphasis
on areas of clinical and psychosocial assessments and interventions, and
child/adolescent/adult behavioral health. It serves faculty, staff,
students, community professionals, NGOs, and other organizations, locally and
regionally.
IMPACT will
strategically address the rising regional needs centered around psychology and
mental health. It will offer carefully selected workshops, training modules,
and mentorships that impact regional practitioners, researchers, and policy
makers. Through its creative activities, it will elevate the standards of
psychological science and training in the region, and build capacity within
faculty, staff, students, NGOs, organizations, and community professionals, by
advancing their competence in dealing with behavioral, mental, cognitive,
emotional, psychosocial, and research problems in our society.
