Pilot Project Proposal: RPRIT School Psychology Fellowship

1. Project Overview

The RPRIT School Psychology Fellowship aims to train and place psychology and education professionals in schools to promote mental health, enhance emotional intelligence, and implement Rabindrik Psychotherapy principles. This initiative will bridge the gap between psychological theory and practical school-based interventions, creating a sustainable model for student well-being and teacher support.

2. Objectives

  • Implement Rabindrik Psychotherapy in school settings to enhance emotional and cognitive development.

  • Provide mental health support to students through structured interventions.

  • Train teachers in psychological first aid and child-friendly teaching strategies.

  • Conduct school-based assessments using Rabindrik Value Orientation frameworks.

  • Foster a research-driven approach to school psychology.

3. Target Participants

  • Fellows: Postgraduate students and professionals in Psychology, Education, and Social Work.

  • Schools: Government and low-income private schools with limited access to school psychologists.

  • Mentors: Senior psychologists and researchers from RPRIT.

4. Program Structure

Phase 1: Fellowship Recruitment & Training (2 Months)

  • Online and offline training modules on Rabindrik Psychotherapy and school psychology.

  • Workshops on child psychology, inclusive education, and behavioral interventions.

  • Field visits to observe school environments and existing psychological practices.

Phase 2: School Placements & Implementation (10 Months)

  • Fellows will be placed in selected schools for practical intervention.

  • Conduct baseline psychological assessments of students and teachers.

  • Implement therapeutic interventions based on Rabindrik principles.

  • Organize awareness programs for teachers, parents, and students.

  • Document case studies and impact reports.

Phase 3: Evaluation & Research (2 Months)

  • Fellows will submit research findings and intervention outcomes.

  • Schools will provide feedback on program effectiveness.

  • RPRIT will compile reports for potential scalability and government collaboration.

  • RPRIT will award certificates to teachers who successfully complete the training. A total of 20 teachers will receive certification in the initial phase.

5. Expected Outcomes

  • Improved student well-being and emotional resilience.

  • Increased teacher awareness of mental health strategies.

  • A structured psychological assessment model integrating Rabindrik Psychotherapy.

  • A research-based framework for implementing school psychology in India.

6. Resource & Funding Requirements

  • Human Resources: Trainers, mentors, and administrative staff.

  • Financial Support: Stipends for fellows, training material, and research grants.

  • Technology: Online training platforms, psychological assessment tools.

  • Partnerships: Schools, NGOs, and government education bodies.

7. Funding Strategies

Currently, the Rabindrik Psychotherapy Research Institute Trust generates funds from registration fees for various training courses. These funds will be utilized to provide stipends for fellows and support the implementation of the School Psychology Fellowship. Additionally, the following funding strategies will be implemented:

  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Grants: Collaborate with corporate entities willing to fund education and mental health initiatives.

  • Government Grants & Schemes: Apply for government programs supporting mental health in schools and educational psychology.

  • Educational Institutions & Universities: Partner with universities for funding support through research grants and student scholarships.

  • Crowdfunding & Public Donations: Launch online campaigns to engage the public in funding the initiative.

  • NGO & Foundation Collaborations: Partner with NGOs and international foundations focused on child welfare and psychological well-being.

  • Expansion of Paid Training Modules: Offer additional certification courses and specialized training for educators and counselors, generating further revenue for the fellowship.

  • Alumni Contributions: Establish a network where former fellows contribute financially or mentor new fellows.

8. Scalability & Future Prospects

After successful implementation, the program can be expanded to multiple cities, with RPRIT seeking collaborations with educational boards, CSR initiatives, and policymakers to integrate Rabindrik School Psychology into national frameworks.

This pilot project serves as the foundation for a long-term intervention model integrating psychology, education, and Rabindrik values. Further refinement can be made based on feedback and resource availability.
