Relate trains students in both Masters and Doctoral level programs. Relationships have been developed with many Minneapolis and St. Paul Universities offering these programs.

Students that are accepted into our program will have a wide variety of opportunities available to them. Students will be able to:

• Learn all aspects of Relate’s clinical policies and procedures
• Establish the ability to complete intakes and assessments
• Diagnose – with supervision – all the clients they see as well as develop treatment plans
• Provide real-world clinical services for the duration of a patient's treatment
• Follow through with all paper work and clinical responsibilities related to charting
• Utilize the skills, theories, and techniques they have learned in school, applying them to the practice setting
• Receive regular clinical consultation with a direct supervisor, in staff consultation and in a Student Supervision Group
• Pursue growth and experience in specific areas chosen by both the student and supervisor

We have programs for overseeing students who are currently in the following three disciplines:

Marriage and Family Therapy

Social Work
Also for students in the second year of their Masters program.
