MEC 7501 Family Counseling
The family structure is explored as candidates learn how to meet the needs of children at school through family counseling. Knowledge of family dynamics, social and cultural issues, and parenting education are explored as the class considers issues of sexuality, child abuse, substance abuse, sex-equity, and the impact of special needs children on the family structure. Socioeconomic, ethnic background and race are addressed in terms of their influence on children in families. Candidates will research and report on community and agency resources and referral services available for children and their families.
