Post-Graduate Fellow

JR

Williams College Main Campus

Integrative Wellbeing Services (IWS) at Williams College offers post-graduate students in counseling, social work, and psychology the opportunity for advanced clinical training with a fully compensated two academic-year (ten months/year) fellowship in college mental health. The fellowship is intended to promote workforce diversity by encouraging candidates from underrepresented groups and/or those with a demonstrated interest in diversity, social justice, and multiculturalism to pursue careers in college mental health. Through direct clinical psychotherapy experience, individual and group supervision, and didactic and experiential seminars, fellows gain experience learning to identify, formulate, and treat the emotional difficulties and disruptions to thriving unique to a college population.

In addition to providing college-aged students with confidential mental health services, IWS embraces a holistic model of student well-being (heart, mind, body and spirit) and collaborates with Health Services, the Chaplain's Office, the Davis Center multicultural programming, academic leadership and others to support the whole student. Through groups, psychoeducational workshops and special events, fellows work with staff to explore creative and systemic opportunities for student support and practice integrating emerging evidence-based intervention methods. Together, the IWS team works to recognize, understand, and collaboratively meet the dynamic needs of Williams' diverse student population.

Responsibilities:

• Provide individualized evaluation, treatment planning, psychotherapy, and crisis walk-in coverage for college students seeking services at IWS.
  
• Provide group psychotherapy (typically with a staff therapist). In the past, groups have included process-oriented groups (e.g., supporting students with depression or anxiety), skills development groups (e.g., mindfulness / meditation), and multicultural outreach groups.
  
• Engage in two hours/week of individual supervision, weekly peer supervision, weekly racial justice seminar, in addition to a weekly all-staff meeting.
  
• Attend and participate in weekly training seminars, as well as staff-trainee seminars and in-services. Topics may include, but not be limited to: principles of psychodynamic, trauma-based, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapies; working in the group modality; holistic engagement and therapist use of self; racial justice; and, working with culturally diverse populations.
  
• Develop and/or participate in various IWS or collaborative outreach activities, examples of which include organizing educational events, consulting student groups, co-sponsoring events with other departments, and staffing informal drop-in hours for students in embedded IWS offices.
  
• Teach in the didactic seminar series and during the second year of the fellowship, provide mentorship to pre-graduate interns.
  
• Attend various administrative meetings to gain experience in college mental health administration during the second year.
