Practicum – Vancouver Campus An integral part of the MA in Counselling Psychology program at Adler is the acquisition of practical counselling and scholarly skills gained in field placements. Ongoing involvement in counselling and scholarly activities at professional training sites gives students the closely supervised opportunity to apply and further develop the knowledge, skills, values, and competencies they gain in course work. Practicum training requirements begin with a first year Community Service Practicum that focuses on developing skills related to community-based interventions, advocacy, social justice, and systemic interventions that benefit human welfare and well being. Counselling training provided in students’ second practicum focuses on developing the competencies needed to prepare students for entry-level practice at graduation. Because the focus is on integrating Master’s level education at Adler with Master’s-level supervised counselling training, no transfer credit is granted for practica credits earned elsewhere. Students must successfully complete course prerequisites prior to being approved to begin their counselling practicum. Students completing first year coursework will spend 8-10 hours per week over the course of six months at an approved Community Service Practicum site and must concurrently enroll in required coursework. A minimum of 150 clock hours of Community Service Practicum is required. After completion of all first year coursework, students should expect to spend at least two days per week over the course of eight to twelve months at an approved counselling practicum site and must concurrently enroll in Practicum Seminars during their first two semesters of field experience. A minimum 700 total clock hours of counselling practica are required, which is further outlined in program descriptions within this catalog.
