Practicum in Mental Health Counseling

Catalog description

The practicum in mental health counseling is a one semester, supervised counseling experience in which students serve as counselors-in-training at pre-arranged practicum sites. The practicum consists of a minimum of 100 clock hours (at least 40 hours should be direct service hours with clients) to be completed by the end of the semester. This course provides for the integration of one-site practicum experiences with theories, treatment interventions, and legal/ethical/professional issues learned in previous counseling courses.
