COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is designed to provide the counseling internship student with an opportunity to refine and expand her/his/their counseling skills working with clients in a field setting through intensive individual and group supervision. Students are expected to expand their current knowledge by taking risks to learn about clients, issues, theories, and techniques with which they are not currently familiar or comfortable. Additional goals are to foster a positive attitude toward supervision, develop skills in giving and receiving feedback, and promote personal and professional growth. The internship includes 600 hours (for clinical mental health track students) of working in a field setting. Specific requirements regarding direct service hours in internship and other internship-related policies and procedures are outlined in The Counseling Program Internship Handbook. The internship seminar is designed to meet the CACREP requirement of regularly providing an average of 1 ½ hr/wk of group supervision to internship students. In our weekly seminar meeting, students are expected to discuss their internship experiences, to raise ethical and professional concerns and to explore theory and techniques as they relate to work with clients. We also examine the personal, professional, social, cultural and political issues that arise as students engage in fieldwork. Although our time in seminar is used mostly to receive feedback from peers and the supervisor on formal and informal video class presentations, we also take time to discuss issues and challenges faced in the field with clients, engage in role plays, practice of specific skills, or exploration of individual issues that affect one’s counseling effectiveness. Each student will assume responsibility for asking for what she/he/they need in each supervision session and for creating a healthy and useful learning experience for the group as a whole. During Summer 2022, this course will be offered utilizing a hybrid format.
