Named for [[Katharine Felton]], [[Family Service Agency of San Francisco|Family Service Agency]]'s pioneering founding director, the '''Felton Institute for Excellence in Clinical Training''' provides intensive clinical training in [[Evidence based practice]] to address complex mental-health and clinical social work issues.
Untreated and under-treated mental illness is strongly correlated with myriad other social problems, including homelessness, high medical-care costs, drug abuse and addiction, and poverty. But research demonstrates that – if met with the best and most appropriate treatments – even severe mental illness can become a manageable condition for most people, opening the way to recovery.
The Felton Institute serves Family Service Agency of San Francisco as a central resource in the implementation of Evidence-based practice in every element of clinical social work and mental health service delivery, to maximize client recovery. Drawing on the nation’s best teachers and clinicians, classes are taught by the very professors and clinicians who developed the original treatment methods.
