Program Description
CWAT/EFC is a field-based children’s outpatient specialty mental health program primarily for foster youth. There are also opportunities to engage youth with aftercare support who have recently been discharged from YSU (Youth Stabilization Unit) and inpatient psychiatric hospitals. We are located in Concord but provide services throughout all regions (Central, East, and West Contra Costa). CWAT/EFC primarily serves racially, ethnically, linguistically, sexually and gender diverse children and youth (5-21 y.o.) with Medi-Cal insurance, and their families. Our focus of care is with the mental health needs of foster youth and youth who have been placed on 5150/5585 holds who have moderate to severe emotional difficulties which impact them in home, school, and community settings.
Interns can expect to provide individual and family therapy, conduct initial clinical assessments, care coordination, participate in case consultation with staff, have collateral contact with community agencies, and complete appropriate record-keeping/progress notes. There is a minimum of 4-5 hours of supervision and training-related meetings each week: 1 hour individual supervision, 1 hour Case Conference, 1 hour Didactic Seminar, 1 hour Special Topics seminar, and 1 hour Group Supervision for Assessment.
