Abstract
Recent years have seen the proliferation of programs of education and training. Mental health workers have become increasingly involved in such programs and have provided varied services. This paper reports the experience of psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers in the Job Corps, the most intensive and only nationwide residential training program for disadvantaged youth. It is a report on the proceedings of the First Job Corps Mental Health Colloquium held in June, 1967. Moreover, the paper is an exploration of the role of the mental health worker in this and other similar programs.
