Training

We train the next generation of school mental health researchers and practitioners through rigorous graduate and post-doctoral training programs.

Graduate Training

Project SPACE – School Psychologists Advocating for Culturally-Responsive and Equitable Mental Health Services

The overall purpose of Project SPACE (School Psychologists Advocating for Culturally responsive and Equitable mental health services) is to recruit and train 24 new school psychology graduate students to enter the field, prepared to work with children and youth from historically minoritized identities. In a partnership between the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD), training will emphasis skills related to provided culturally-responsive school mental health services. This training grant will support four cohorts of six students each year (24 students total).

Project STARS (Scholars in Teaching, Applied Research, and Service): Training and Mentoring in School Psychology

Project S.T.A.R.S. (Scholars in Teaching, Applied Research and Service) is a multi-site partnership between the doctoral school psychology programs at the University of South Florida and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project will prepare 8 new faculty in school psychology who will have the teaching, applied research, and service expertise to lead school, district and state implementation of evidence-based practices within a multi-tiered system of supports. 

Post-Doctoral Research & Training Program

We provide postdoctoral training in school mental health that integrates sophisticated and rigorous methodological training with foundational school mental health research and social justice. The program is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences (IES). Training is provided at the University of Wisconsin (UW)–Madison. The purpose of the program is to prepare post-doctoral fellows for a career in educational research.
