Dear Colleague,
Please review the exciting new offerings in our fall 2008 Counseling and Psychology brochure and enroll in an individual CEU workshop or in one of our workshop series!
These specialized professional programs allow you to create a focus for your mandatory CEU requirements and improve your knowledge in specialized fields to make you a better practitioner. The programs, taught by experts who are known for their expertise in working with a particular presenting problem or specific population, provide excellent training in the small seminar-like setting at UC Berkeley Extension.
This fall, required workshops for each of the professional programs are being offered at convenient times and locations in both our Berkeley and San Francisco locations. Try one and see if you want to complete the program during the coming two-year re-licensure cycle!
The Alcohol and Drug Abuse Studies Certificate Program is offering two very topical electives this term open to licensed clinicians as well as counselors in the field—one on the role of spirituality in treatment and another on the recovery movement. An excellent credit course is also being offered this term on Health Policy in the U.S. for those who want to be current on the issue as the fall elections approach.
We welcome your comments and ideas for new courses and curricula.
