Issues in Counseling
This guide should comprise local resources (within your community). You will add to this guide in future classes.
Research church, para-church, and community agencies, listing what they offer regarding assistance to those with course-related concerns .
Conduct a brief interview (in person is ideal, but by phone is also acceptable) of local programs that meet a need covered in class, and then select programs that you would use as possible referral resources.
Include at least ten (10) resources (if you run into trouble locating 10 references in your area, you may expand your search, but begin by looking locally), which vary in format.
Detail relevant data such as program name, location, contact information, type/s of treatment offered, length of treatment, modality used, cost for services, requirements of participation, and any other relevant information about the program.
Your listing should be an accurate and comprehensive list of what you consider to be the best resources available in your area. It is imperative that you add personal commentary (at least a couple of sentences) about each program you choose to include.
This commentary may include your thoughts about the program, what you have heard from others, the general reputation of the program, and must include your informal evaluation or impressions based on what you know of services offered.
