Description:

Our Master of Arts in Forensic Mental Health Leadership program prepares individuals to become leaders, consultants and agents for change in forensic mental health and related public safety fields. Students in this program will gain personal and professional growth by learning new skills, strategies, and research driven data for dealing with the contemporary realities of mounting social problems, shifting cultural landscapes, increased public scrutiny, and the growing demand for increased accountability and transparency from the communities and stakeholders they serve.

In this program, students learn to apply contemporary leadership models and practices, individual, organizational and community based assessment and intervention skills, research and program development, consulting skills, ethical practices, and a foundation in empirically supported policies and principles that will inform your choices as leaders within forensic mental health and related public safety organizations, or as consultants to such organizations.
