The Counseling Center provided 705 hours of APA and NBCC approved continuing education to staff and members of the local community:
“In Consideration of Open Groups”
“Ethically Assessing Suicidality: Practical Ways to Avoid Malpractice”
“Processing Racial Trauma in White Spaces”
“The Gift of Grief: Navigating Loss and Finding Meaning”
Beyond formal continuing education workshops, the Multicultural Committee organized a series of monthly discussions on the following topics: identity, working with multicultural students, roles and hierarchy in the Counseling Center, power and privilege, UNC System diversity initiatives, gender identity, family identity, and identity based on discipline. These discussions were given priority and attendance was required as part of staff meetings. These discussions provided a guiding theme for the center and for staff self-reflection and growth.
Through the expansion of the training program, trainees in counseling, psychiatry, psychology and social work were able to provide services to 3,168 students under the supervision of licensed senior staff.
