COUN 515A - CMHC Supervised Field Experience I

Unit(s): 4

This seminar provides a group discussion and supervision format in conjunction with advanced field based training, which may be in community counseling settings (CMHC students). 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 community and school settings will be addressed didactically and experientially. 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. Students will initiate a culminating case study project, with both oral and written components.

Prerequisite(s): Course restricted to COUN MA students only.
