COUN 8153S - Internship 1


This is the second of three required 3-unit field experience training courses. An approved field placement, liability insurance and enrollment in the internship course are required.  It is expected that Internship students will work under close supervision at all times and that they will have the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, families and groups whenever possible. Internship 1 consists of a minimum of 300 hours of field experience including provision of 120 hours of direct counseling services. Internship 1 also includes a minimum of 1 hour of weekly individual or triadic on-site supervision (one hour for every five direct hours for CA students), an average of 1.5hrs/week of university supervision, and periodic consultations between site supervisor and university faculty to assess progress and refine goals. The primary emphasis of Internship 1 is on a more complete immersion in the role of mental health counselor, continued self-reflection, and refinement of ethical and multiculturally competent practice. 3.0 credit(s)
