EP STUDENT AND ALUMNI FEEDBACK

The Enhanced Placement Program: THE BASICS

The Enhanced Placement (EP) program of Philadelphia Connections.

Connections provides funds and support for opportunities that enhance and enrich
students' work and learning at behavioral health field placements. Schools,
provider agencies who provide field placements for social work and
psychology/counsleing students, and the students themselves all agree to
fulfill certain responsibilities in return for Connections funding for the various
aspects of this collaborative venture.

The Enhanced Placement program was started in 1999. Through the EP program,
Connections provides funding and encouragement to schools and behavioral
health care provider agencies that collaborate in enhancing the field placement
experience for their students. Connections also provides additional training and
educational opportunities to EP students to help to ensure that they are as
well-prepared as possible to work with consumers and their families.

Besides helping students to provide the best possible clinical services in their
field placements and receive the best possible learning experience, the EP
program is also aimed at encouraging students to consider taking jobs with
community agencies after graduation.
