    The vision of the Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral 健康 at the University of Oregon is to improve access for all youth to evidence-based behavioral health supports. Central to the achievement of this vision will be the establishment of a new bachelor's level profession, the Child Behavioral 健康 Specialist.

     

    我们该怎么做呢?

    鲍尔默研究院 will establish a new national model for supporting the mental health of children and families by creating the nation’s first undergraduate program in child behavioral health. The institute prioritizes the needs of youth who have been historically or persistently underserved and seeks to make real system change by: 

    • Creating a new bachelor's level mental health profession to support and grow the behavioral health field 

    • 合作伙伴ing with schools to integrate child behavioral health specialists 

    • Delivering behavioral health supports and interventions in schools and the community 

    • 培训 teachers and other youth-serving professionals to promote youth behavioral health.

    • Developing new approaches to improve child behavioral health outcomes for youth and families.



    这看起来像什么?

    We are proud to partner with 线上博彩平台 where our undergraduate students, under the supervision of University of Oregon clinical faculty, will deliver evidence-based interventions to promote well-being, and prevent mental health problems from developing and worsening in children and adolescents. 

     

    在2023年秋天, our clinical faculty will begin working in several PPS middle schools where they will:

    • Learn more about the school and existing behavioral health services 

    • Work with the behavioral health staff in each school to identify areas where support is most needed

    • Align activities to support student behavioral health to meet the specific needs of each school

    • Build relationships with the school community



    When will child behavior health students be in PPS schools?

     

    • 2024年秋天, child behavioral health undergraduates in their junior year will begin their applied training and coursework at the Ballmer Institute at the University of Oregon Portland’s northeast campus. 2024年的冬天, students will begin working in middle schools to deliver behavioral health support under the supervision of UO clinical faculty. 



    What will child behavioral health students do?

    Our students will be able to support schools with multiple strategies including:

    • 早期识别 of behavioral health concerns through strategies like universal behavioral health screenings, mental health literacy interventions 

    • 促进行为健康  - Delivering evidence-based behavioral health supports that promote wellness for all students (e.g. 情绪调节工具, 压力管理技巧, supports for identity development and building healthy relationships)

    • 预防及干预 - Delivering brief evidence-based interventions to youth at elevated risk for behavioral health challenges. (e.g. cognitive and behavioral strategies such as problem-solving skills or relaxation training)


    Child behavioral health students and faculty will complement the current skills and responsibilities of your school’s child behavioral health team.
