FSU Faculty Receive Grant to Evaluate FSU Center Telehealth Services

Two Florida State University faculty members received a $16,000 grant from the Mental Research Institute to launch their project, “Family Therapy and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Telehealth Response.” Dr. Michele Parker of the FSU College of Human Sciences and Dr. Michael Killian of the FSU College of Social Work will assess Behavioral Health Services offered by the FSU Multidisciplinary Evaluation and Testing Center (FSU MDC).

BHS Services include:

FAMILY THERAPY to address:

• Parenting Stress
• Co-parenting Concerns
