Counseling Client Volunteers Needed
The Master of Counseling program is in need of some student volunteer clients. The student counselors are learning beginning skills and they need to practice. What we need from you is a willingness to come in and talk about yourself for 45 to 50 minutes. The session will be taped so that we can give the students feedback on their skill development. These students aren’t qualified to handle serious mental health issues at this time. If you have a more serious issue going on please contact Pam Standridge, pstandridge@corban.edu, at the campus counseling center.
If you are interested, please email Mary Aguilera at maguilera@corban.edu and let her know a time that would work and whether you would prefer a male or female counselor. Student counselors are available Monday-Saturday at various times including mornings and between 3 and 7 p.m.
