These were research projects that students had worked on with Dr. Paige Dagenhard-Trainer in the RTH 380 class. Several manuscripts are submitted for possible journal publication πŸŽ‰

The Behavioral Health Clinical students had 2 amazing opportunities this year! First with our friends at Haywood Pathways Center, where they led groups every week with the adults and family dorm working on expressive arts, goal setting, self esteem and more!!

Students also had the opportunity to shadow at Haywood Regional Hospital with our fantastic Alum, Anna Taylor (pictured: last picture in the middle!). Anna was able to show them 2 inpatient behavioral health units and they spent the day observing assessments, groups and treatment team!

Fantastic semester and we thank our community partners!!
