Please post something to the discussion board related to the content covered
this week. Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use
Yellowdig’s
Create
option to create a new post. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Share an issue that you anticipate will impact your work as a future professional counselor. How has the counseling profession addressed (or not addressed) this issue in the past? Discuss how societal trends have impacted this issue and the need for professional counselors to address it in the future.
Discuss something that stood out to you this week. Maybe there was a topic you found confusing; ask a question to get clarification from your peers. Or if a topic in a reading was especially interesting and caught your attention, describe how this information could be useful to you.
How does your culture, background, or experience impact your interest in working with a specific clinical population?
Find an outside resource (for example, information from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Links to an external site.
,
O*Net Online
Links to an external site.
, et cetera) that aids in your understanding of the following: who clinical mental health counselors are, their employment outlook, and their typical annual income. Post a link to the resource and discuss how this information
impacts your career goals.
