Students in the master’s or Ph.D. program in Social Work can apply to earn a Dual-Title Degree in Social Work and Infant Mental Health (IMH). This dual-title degree is designed to prepare Social Workers to support early social and emotional development especially in contexts of risk such as poverty and violence exposure that place young children at risk for relationship disruptions and developmental concerns, and in families where parents or children suffer from developmental disabilities, physical health or mental health concerns. The dual-title program offers many advantages to students whose goal is to work with very young children and their families. Students who earn an IMH dual-title degree have a solid understanding of both research and clinical work with infants and families, are prepared to work in multi-disciplinary teams and to implement evidence-based treatments. MSW Dual Title Students also receive clinical supervision from program faculty during the IMH clinical seminar that is offered in the Fall and Winter terms. As a result of their training and supervision, IMH dual-title students are well-positioned to be competitive in the job market.
