History of the Center
The CINTER at Park University was recently rebranded in Spring 2020. Formerly known as the Center for Research and Training in Integrated Behavioral Health, this entity was affiliated with the Department of Social Work at Park University and focused on social work and behavioral health initiatives. Workshops included topics such as motivational interviewing, issues in aging, the strengths perspective, self-care for professionals, ethics, and more. Grant partnerships included the Kansas City Housing Authority and Truman Behavioral Health. Present day, the Center for Interdisciplinary, Networking, Training, Education and Research focuses on interdisciplinary research and training opportunities that expand beyond behavioral health alone.
