HSP 3090 - Human Services Practicum II

Credits: 8

Prerequisite(s): HSP 2070; HSP 2080; HSP 2330

Description: This practicum provides a field experience in a human service agency or setting. These experiences are all in conjunction with the Addictions concentration offered in the Human Services major. In addition to the field service hours, students participate in an interactive seminar that supports the effectiveness of student learning at the placement site and allows students to apply theoretical knowledge learned in the core human services curriculum to real life situations and experiences. Specifically, students will address topics like co-occurring disorders, clinical note skills, transference and counter-transference, and clinical assessments. Students participate in a variety of hands-on activities to develop clinical skills depending on the nature of the placement. Students in Addiction Studies complete these hours with Colorado Addiction Counselor (CAC lll) supervisors providing direct feedback.
