Advanced Clinical Social Work Fellowship

About YCSC:
Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) faculty, staff, and trainees have served children and families from birth through adolescence since 1911. At our core is the mission to improve the lives of children and families through research, service, and training.

The department's educational efforts include clinical and research training in child psychiatry, social work, and child psychology, as well as specific intervention and prevention approaches, training and consultation with school personnel, and special areas of child and family mental health.
