This program parallels the first two years of four-year programs in Human Services and Social Work. It combines human services with general education courses to prepare you for successful transfer. Many of the classes are offered as 100% web-based or as Flex Mode classes which allow students the flexibility to work while attending classes and completing their degree program. Here are some of the courses you will take:
This course is designed to give students an understanding and working knowledge of the Social Service system and the role and function of the helping professional. Students will gain an understanding of system theory and strength based practice with individuals, families and groups as well as an overview of case management, referral and service coordination services provided by the Generalist practitioner.
As our society changes and becomes more diverse, the professional ethics of the human service worker and addictions counselor become more complex. This course will review specific treatment needs and the development of skills necessary for counseling and providing human services to diverse populations including those defined by race, minority/protected status, ethnicity, gender, religion, legal status, HIV/AIDS status, age and other characteristics.
This course focuses on the Human Services professional and their role in providing services. The values and ethics of the Human Service professional, engagement strategies, interpersonal communication techniques, attending behaviors and the helping process are reviewed and applied using case studies. The importance of counselor wellness is empathized including clinical supervision, cultural competence, prevention of compassion fatigue and self-care.
This course provides students an opportunity to integrate information from courses in human services, psychology, sociology and other fields, and to apply that information to existing social programs. This course is designed to provide individualized work and learning experiences in the fields of human and addiction services. Students spend 20 hours over the course of the semester completing a project-based learning assignment which is tailored to their interests and goals.
