Training ProgramsProfessional Graduate Student Training An integral part of the Center for Group Counseling is the clinical training of future mental health professionals. Graduate students from around the country apply to our doctoral psychology internship, social work internship, and practicum programs. The Center offers graduate students a unique and dynamic learning experience in which trainees may develop their professional and personal identities. Students receive intensive training in humanistic, client-centered therapy, but also learn and practice other psychological theories and techniques in a variety of settings with various populations. Volunteers The Facilitator Training Course (FTC), a key component in the Center’s provision of free counseling services, is the source from which we draw volunteer group leaders and facilitators, who are so critical to our mission. The FTC, offered semiannually, provides the opportunity for community residents, regardless of academic qualifications, to learn our counseling techniques. Additionally they have an opportunity to apply that training by assisting in actual counseling groups conducted by professional credentialed counselors. Volunteer leaders and facilitators often discover that they themselves benefit from helping clients. Our training course is:

The scenes are roughly scripted, but actual dialogue is improvised. After each skit, actors remain in character and engage in an interactive discussion with the audience. In addition to providing entertainment, psychodrama performances increase awareness and understanding of psychological and sociological issues. All actors are Center volunteers. Proceeds from performances are used to help fund the Center’s free group counseling programs for children, adults, and seniors. Speaker’s Bureau The Speaker’s Bureau provides staff and volunteer speakers to promote community awareness of the Center’s services and programs. Informational presentations usually include a brief video about the Center and a question-answer session. Community organizations that would like to arrange for a speaker can call the Center for information. 11:00 a.m. the First Wednesday of each month Our "First Wednesdays" series is open to the general community.
