If you’re interested in helping people through life’s challenges, Siena’s Mental Health Counseling minor gives you a closer look at the field. Through courses in psychology and social work, you’ll study mental health conditions, counseling approaches, and the ways people respond to relationships, crises, and substance use.
The 18-credit minor is especially relevant to psychology and social work majors considering graduate study or an entry-level role in mental health services. You’ll take Abnormal Psychology and choose from courses such as Counseling Theories and Techniques, Social Work Practice Skills, Crisis Theory and Intervention, and Childhood and Adolescent Psychopathology. Some course options also offer internship or field placement experience.
