This training describes the need for contextualized assessment in working with foster youth and community systems. The origin of psychological assessment at WestCoast Children’s Clinic required a unique framework for assessment that was different from a traditional model that originated in a standardization sample that did not reflect youth and families in the community. The assessment model in this training is characterized by: a historical and contextualized approach, transparency of the process, collaboration between provider and client, and therapeutic intervention. The history of psychological assessment in the last 35 years will be presented as crucial to working systemically.
