Description:
The Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) offers a two-year post-master’s fellowship providing advanced training for social workers dedicated to delivering excellent clinical interventions with children, youth, and families. The program also prepares fellows to become future leaders in the field of clinical social work.
Grounded in YCSC’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, the fellowship trains social workers to engage in clinical practice that ensures fair treatment, opportunities, and rights for all people.
Fellows participate in both multidisciplinary and discipline-specific training, including didactics, intensive supervision, and direct practice. In the second year, each fellow engages in an elective project or specialization tailored to their interests and career goals, with opportunities across YCSC, the Yale-New Haven Hospital system, and community partners.

Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic (OPC): Provides individual, parent, and family therapies using modalities such as CBT, trauma-focused CBT, parent management training, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and play therapy. Fellows carry approximately 16 outpatient cases and participate in clinic-based multidisciplinary teams.
Intensive In-Home Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services (IICAPS): A home-based model utilizing attachment theory, reflective functioning, family systems, and mentalization. Fellows provide intensive family and individual treatment for children and adolescents managing trauma, psychiatric hospitalization, and community challenges. Caseloads are carried in collaboration with licensed faculty and multidisciplinary teams.
Supervision & Licensure:
Each fellow is supervised by senior licensed clinical social workers at YCSC. Over two years, fellows accrue the clinical and supervision hours necessary to meet Connecticut state licensing requirements, with reciprocity possible in other states depending on local regulations.
