Prevention of Psychological Health Problems Via Integrated Operational Support

Behavioral technicians will engage in a structured, deliberate-practice-based training program designed to enhance competence in evidence-based interventions (EBIs) over a 10-week period. The program begins with an initial seminar that provides an overview of the training framework, key research supporting deliberate practice, and specific intervention techniques. Each participant is assigned a coach-either a clinical psychologist or a licensed MSW with expertise in the EBI Toolkit-who will provide individualized guidance throughout the training. During the weekly coaching sessions, participants will review session notes, engage in structured practice exercises, and work toward mastering the skills and competencies necessary for effective intervention delivery. Weekly homework assignments will allow participants to practice each tool as though they were working with an SM client, followed by self-reflections that will be discussed in coaching sessions.
