COUN 690 Integrative Portfolio Project

In COUN 690, students will have an opportunity to apply their newly-acquired knowledge of advocacy, research design, and public policy in the mental health field, with their awareness of social justice issues that impact the mental health community. Students will complete assignments designed to facilitate exploration of (a) the self of the counselor, (b) the role of the counselor in advocating for and with clients from under-served populations, (c) understanding the impact of public policy on clients, and (d) proposing an action research plan for addressing an identified social justice issue. Methods of instruction include independent research, in-class face-to-face learning, and some additional asynchronous online work.
