Community Resolution Services
Community Resolution Services (CRS) offers trainings and workshops, as well as
facilitation and other services, to individuals, families, groups, and communities. CRS is an
in-house practicum site available to students in DMS/MACS and DCAR. SHSS students that
are not engaged in practicum may apply as volunteers. CRS supports students who intend
to enhance their skills and who want to participate in projects and activities rich with
prospects for professional development. It also offers needed services to the community,
at either no cost or based on a sliding fee scale. This enables our underserved community
members to access and participate in conflict resolution services.
CRS offers professional opportunities in the community for students who want to enhance
their skills beyond the classroom. It also offers opportunities for faculty to mentor students
while enhancing their own practice skills.
CRS maintains a variety of projects including the VOICES Family Outreach Project; CRPS
Project (Community Resources, Partnerships and Solutions); CRS Training and Consulting
Project and Peace Place. Peace Place is a unique, long-term collaboration between CRS and
the Broward County Library System. The library provides a public forum and CRS uses
Peace Place as an opportunity to share important research, information, and skills with the
community.

Equine Assisted Family Therapy Outreach
In collaboration with Stable Foundations, an equine assisted therapy practice within the
local community, the Department of Family Therapy offers opportunities for master’s and
doctoral students to serve as clinical interns, offering equine assisted family therapy for
individuals, couples, and families. Integrating the systemic theoretical foundations that are
the hallmark of the family therapy program with the practice of equine assisted therapies,
this collaborative effort provides a unique clinical opportunity for students. Clinical
supervision is provided by Dr. Green and by licensed mental health professionals affiliated
with Stable Foundations. Additionally, the Department of Family Therapy offers an Equine
Assisted Family Therapy course to both Master’s and Doctoral students. Taught by Dr.
Shelley Green, Professor of Family Therapy, the course offers students the opportunity to
both learn about and practice equine assisted family therapy, and to utilize the equine
model to enhance and reflect on their own clinical strengths and approach.
