COUN404 Advanced Clinical Fieldwork

40 cp
Prerequisites 20 cp from 400-level COUN units

Students will pursue a practicum at an advanced level in an organisation such as a community agency, counselling or welfare centre, child or youth service, neighbourhood centre, community corrections, hospice or hospital. The practicum program will be based on four days a week for twelve weeks. They will gain further experience working with individuals and groups under supervision by a qualified counsellor, social worker or psychologists that meets the PACFA training standards. During this time a student will be required to log professional supervision as part of meeting the PACFA training requirements of engaging in 40 client contact hours with at least 10 hours of supervision. The practicum will also be integrated with weekly classes on campus. These forums will include a 10 hour component of professional development in self-awareness. The progression of student development will be structured through a developmental approach to supervision.
