Trainees are required to attend Friday morning training seminars from 9 a.m. -10:30 a.m. Trainees are required to attend a two-day orientation prior to the start of the fall semester.

Our supervising staff include licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, and licensed clinical addictions specialists.
