Unit(s): 4

This seminar provides a group discussion and supervision format in conjunction with advanced field based training, in school settings. The class meetings are designed to supplement the individual and group supervision provided by site supervisors, and the goal of the seminar is to help students develop a model of professional functioning through the integration of theory, pragmatic strategies, and personal development. Aspects of cultural diversity that influence counseling practice in school settings will be addressed. Integral to this experience is the exchange of feedback and support among seminar participants. This course also addresses techniques for working with clients and situations involving crisis/trauma.

Prerequisite(s): COUN 510A, COUN 510B and COUN 520; COUN 501 is highly recommended. Evaluations are by letter grade. Course restricted to Counseling M.A. students only.
