Information for Students

Undergraduate

The Center employs undergraduate students on a part-time basis as counselors during the academic year and in the summer in the PATHS program. Counselors in these programs are frequently students in the social sciences. Internships are available on a limited basis, and can be taken for credit through arrangements with other higher educational institutions.

Graduate

Opportunities and funding support are available for Ph.D. candidates and post-doctoral fellows in the University of Rochester Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology who work at the Center. In addition to pursuing their own scholarly work, students in these positions are encouraged to participate in clinical and research activities of the Center. Internships in local social work and mental health counseling programs are also available for students.

Training is offered for interns in a range of evidence-based therapeutic models (e.g., Child Parent Psychotherapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Comprehensive individual and group based supervision is provided to ensure therapeutic effectiveness and efficacy, and professional growth.

Mt. Hope Family Center - University of Rochester shared a post — feeling thankful.

16 hours ago

We are so grateful for the support of Webster Schools again this year! The baskets are getting dropped of to our families this morning. A huge thank you to the students and all who contributed to their efforts!A group of 18 Webster Schroeder High School juniors and seniors shared the fruits of their fundraising efforts with Rochester families in need through a unique partnership with Mt. Hope Family Center - University of Rochester (MHFC). This morning, several MHFC vehicles arrived at Webster Schroeder High School to pick up boxes and bags with all the fixings for 20 Thanksgiving meals that will be provided to at-risk children and families supported by MHFC. The groceries were purchased by Webster Schroeder students who began fundraising for these Thanksgiving meals last month.

This is the seventh year students have partnered with MHFC to raise funds to supply Thanksgiving meals for those served by the organization. What makes the students’ fundraising efforts so unique is that they personally reached out to other Webster Schroeder High School clubs, sports teams, organizations, faculty, staff, and Webster businesses to raise more than $2,400 for the Thanksgiving meals. Extra funds raised will provide holiday gifts for children from each of the 20 families that receive a basket.

MHFC is affiliated with the University of Rochester and integrates research, training, intervention, and prevention services in one facility. A leader in the field of developmental research since 1979, MHFC provides evidence-based intervention and prevention services to over 900 at-risk children and families annually in the Rochester community. For more information, please visit www.mthopefamilycenter.org.

This partnership is a tangible way for Webster CSD students to personally experience the district’s vision: Compassionately Connected, Joyfully Engaged, Always Learning, through service to others in the community. ... See MoreSee Less
