To assist community colleges in the South in developing |
|
curriculums, planning programs, and recruiting and |
|
evaluating students for mental health training, and to |
|
work with mental health agencies in job placement for |
|
graduates, a 5-year project was conducted under a grant |
|
from the Natonal Institute of Mental Health. Using a |
|
developmental approach in preference to a job factoring |
|
approach to produce mental health "generalists" instead |
|
of specialists, a program will be implemented by |
|
developing and achieving curricular objectives. A |
|
discussion of these goals includes a definition of basic |
|
competencies, i.e. levels of proficiency necessary in |
|
knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values; suggestions for |
|
obtaining this "core of competence"; and problems |
|
encountered which still must be resolved. Innovative |
|
techniques used in community college mental health |
|
training programs in the South are described, stressing |
|
student self-awareness and involvement in "real-life" |
|
activities. Job placement, in addition to worker |
|
preparation, is not to be neglected. (AG) |
