Question by jlarsen4: Furthering my education – UoP?
I’m a licensed substance abuse counselor interested in furthering my education in the counseling field. I will soon complete a bachelors of psychology degree. I have a growing young family and a mortgage – making moving or commuting to a new school a very difficult and costly proposition for a number of reasons. I have been considering enrollment into the mental health counseling program at the University of Phoenix. I’m interested in opinions, etc. but I am most interested in feedback from those who have enrolled in this particular program. Any help is appreciated.

I talked with Marty and Debra about their inspiration to organise this conference, highlights from last year and what they are looking forward to this year. Last year around 100 people attended the first conference that was delivered exclusively in a virtual environment and was also available to view on our website. The conference considered cutting edge issues including counsellor training, identity and suicide in virtual environments.Although the conference was held online many of the topics were of interest to practitioners in more traditional settings eg supervision, diversity and ongoing development of self awareness.
