CNGC 528 - Counseling and Development

3 credits
This course will introduce the counselor education student who intends to work in mental health, PreK-12 or higher education settings, and who may also be seeking licensure as one or more of the following: Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), School Social Worker/School Adjustment Counselor, or School Counselor, to counseling theory and practice in the context of human development, culture and other contextual factors. Diversity will be broadly defined and include, but not be limited to ethnicity, race, spirituality, gender, SES and sexual orientation. The major counseling theories will be examined with respect to their overall worldview, underlying value systems and related compatibility with mainstream and disenfranchised populations, their perspective on human development and clinical application. Although primary course emphasis will be on counselor self-refection and working with individual clients, secondary focus will be on ecological/system approaches and prevention strategies.
