COUN 736L - Counseling Children Lab

Credits 1
This course provides an opportunity for MFT and pastoral counseling students to practice basic counseling skills in a supervised mentoring setting with pre-screened mentees. In addition to the scheduled course meeting time, students should plan for an additional time commitment of three hours per week mentoring at an off-campus agency setting, typically an elementary school site. Students are expected to be available to their assigned mentoring site(s) for a minimum of 10 weeks, regardless of their semester schedule. Meeting times for the mentoring sessions will be determined by the off-campus agency. Students must be available in these designated time frames to participate in the course. All mentoring sessions will be video recorded. Students are expected to provide a video recording device for their sessions. Students are expected to behave professionally and ethically and to comply with all site policies and procedures. Students will be responsible for obtaining all health clearances, vaccinations, background clearances, and malpractice insurance required by the off-campus agency to participate in this course. All clearances and insurance must be obtained at the student's expense. This course lab experience does not meet BBS requirements for supervised hours toward licensure.
