GROW YOUR OWN

The four courses in this program include a comprehensive exploration of the mental health counseling and wellness professions. Led in collaboration with seasoned experts in mental health, this curriculum fuses theory and real-world application with topics ranging from foundations of emotional awareness, personal wellness, effective crisis communication, understanding coping and stress management strategies, healthy decision making, empathy and conflict resolution. Students participate in up to three college visits per year to learn from college professors and graduate students about pathways to mental health careers, participate in job-shadows and an annual mental health symposium hosted by our partner IHEs. Through this coursework and career exploration, students will acquire essential skills for a career in human services, specializing in mental health and wellness, while developing their own personal wellness philosophy.
