Piscataway is a highly diverse community in terms of socio-economic and racial/ethnic diversity. The program is offered by the Piscataway Board of Education in partnership with the Center for Applied Psychology at Rutgers University. Our program is open during school hours and four evenings a week to see families with a remarkable range of presenting problems and demographic characteristics. During the school day, we provide individual and group counseling to high school students, as well as consultation and crisis intervention. Many of these students are high-risk, and one of our program goals is to help maintain them in the mainstream high school setting rather than being isolated in private special education schools. We also provide individual counseling services to the in-house alternative program at the high school. Under the supervision of the Director, Patrick Connelly, Psy.D. (who is licensed in New Jersey), two doctoral internships will be offered. Both interns will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the program. The positions require two evenings per week and include delivery of comprehensive mental health services to individual students, student groups, and families as well as consultation to teachers, parents and staff to enhance student academic performance and social-emotional well-being.
