Mental Health Curriculum Competencies
The CalSWEC Board of Directors adopted the Mental Health Curriculum Competencies in May 2005. Currently, regional meetings with representatives of schools, county mental health agencies, and non-profit mental health contract agencies are under way across the state to develop strategies for implementing the curriculum and continuing the collaborative work.
- Development of the Mental Health Competencies: A description of the collaborative process by the Mental Health Initiative Committee and participating stakeholders to produce the final Mental Health Competencies documents. These competencies will be reviewed two years after their implementation in schools of social work and mental health agencies to identify areas for revision and knowledge/skill areas that need to be addressed.
- Mental Health Competencies – Foundation Year: These include the competency items that will be delivered to students during their first, or Foundation, year of the MSW program.
- Mental Health Competencies – Advanced/Specialization Year: These include the competency items that will be delivered to students during their second, or Advanced/Specialization, year of the MSW program.
- Mental Health Competencies Matrix – Foundation Year: Schools and mental health agencies may wish to use this document to identify in what courses, specialized training seminars, or field work experiences the students will learn about and/or demonstrate practice skill in the competency areas during the Foundation year.
- Mental Health Competencies Matrix – Advanced/Specialization Year: Schools and mental health agencies may wish to use this document to identify in what courses, specialized training seminars, or field work experiences the students will learn about and/or demonstrate practice skill in the competency areas during the Advanced/Specialization year.
