Drug and Alcohol Training Post-MSW interns may elect to receive training in substance abuse treatment by the chemical dependency counselor. This would include working with students who have substance abuse problems as well as supervision regarding treatment. Occasionally, an intern may also do couples counseling. CPS offers several counseling groups for students which interns may co-lead. CPS also offers a number of workshops on various topics including procrastination, stress management and grief and loss.
Interns participate by providing leadership for various workshops.
These services include workshops, training seminars, lectures and consultation to faculty and staff. CPS is involved in collaborative programs with other university departments including training peer counselors and liaison work with the Residential Life Program. Interns are given opportunities to gain skills in outreach and consultation through liaison activities and by providing workshops and programs on campus. The Counseling Center has an initial assessment procedure for a client's first visit to the center on a scheduled basis. After appropriate training and under supervision, interns will provide 1-2 hours of initial consultation each week.
