Presentation
The UC addresses the intervention of the Clinical Health Psychologist in community and group settings. It aims to enable students to intervene with people and groups with difficulties at the biopsychosocial and contextual level. It is intended to systematize and form a professional profile that applies the knowledge and skills of clinical and health psychology in an ecological, innovative and appropriate way to different health, social and cultural needs often associated with situations of mental illness, exclusion and social discrimination. It is intended to enable students to plan, implement and evaluate clinical interventions that promote participation, empowerment and psychosocial change.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical and experiential aspects of the purpose, development, dynamics, theories, methods and competencies of group and other group approaches in a multicultural society, including principles of group dynamics, components of group process, group leadership or facilitation styles and approaches, and theories and methods of group counselling. Classroom interaction is designed to provide opportunities for students to develop proficiency in the application of fundamental group and community clinical intervention skills. Create conditions to make learners more sensitive to individual and cultural differences (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation) and more inclusive practices.
