CFISD Department of Psychological Services
The CFISD Psychology Department’s Diversity Committee engages in school psychology awareness activities each year, including collaboration with state universities and presentations to their classes on School Psychology. The committee makes a special effort to collaborate with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to bring awareness to the field and to diversify the profession. This year the committee also plans to provide recorded content to the district’s psychology classes.
A big shout out to our CFISD School Psychologists & School Psychologist Interns!!! We thank you for your expertise and support with our CFISD students, staff and families!
