These include, but will not be limited to, individual counseling, case management, utilization of community resources, advocacy, and client assessment. Supervision is provided by a professional in the facility or program and by the departmental faculty on both counseling and case management issues. This course includes a weekly group meeting with the faculty supervisor in which case management and counseling process issues are reviewed.
