Collaborating with the Peace Corps to Maximize Student Learning in Group Counseling
Lambert, Simone; Goodman-Scott, Emily
Professional Counselor, v3 n3 p131-140 2013
This article explores a model partnership with a counseling education program and the Peace Corps. Counselor education students in a group counseling course developed and implemented a singular structured group session with clients not typically used (e.g., non-counseling students) to maximize student learning and implement group counseling skills. Group services were provided to returning Peace Corps volunteers with diverse cultural experiences who were in career and life transitions. In addition, the authors provide strategies for developing similar partnerships between counselor education programs and other agencies.
