The J. Erik Jonsson Community School isn't the only place at Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers where education occurs. The Family Therapy Center recently announced three new, full-time pre-doctoral psychology interns, who begin therapy work with families in August. SCYFC received 100 applications from around the U.S. and Canada.
The interns spend 53 weeks working and studying full-time with the Family Therapy team as they fulfill the requirements of a doctorate in psychology. These interns are not the only students attaining "higher learning" at SCYFC. First and second year psychiatry fellows at UT Southwestern Medical School also attend courses led by SCYFC staff. These classes take place on-site at the new Family Works Center.
