School Psychology - trauma specialization

[Guest lacrosse789]

Hey there! I'm hoping to apply to school psychology Ed. S. & PHD programs for the fall of 2015, and I'm hoping to find programs with specializations in trauma - esp. those with refugees. I know it's very specific and I'd find more in clinic psych. programs but I love working in the schools. So far the only program I've found is at Tulane University, and I'm worried that I'm being inflexible.

 

Should I not have an interest this specific, especially in school psychology?

 

thanks!

I think that it is possible to find school psych programs with faculty who have an interested in trauma (though, it will be hard to find those specifically interested in refugee-related traumas).  Have you considered counseling psych programs? Counseling psychologists can work in schools after obtaining the necessary qualifications
