The Human Development Counseling Program values the role of site supervisors in supporting student development. HDC students benefit from the expertise and guidance provided through intentional supervision to support their growth and development as a counselor in training. This supervision includes a focus on skill development, counselor dispositions, and a space to process the nuance of emotions and thoughts that surround becoming a professional counselor.

Training

All primary site supervisors are required to complete site supervisor training. We are currently building an internal mechanism to offer online modules for all site supervisors. Trainings are currently available through many resources including the following:

• Illinois Mental Health Counselors Association
• Illinois Counseling Association
• Missouri Mental Health Counselors Association
