Final Project: The Role and Life of a Clinical Mental Health Counselor You may use the hyperlinks below to access specific sections of this document: Final Project Overview ~ Final Project Details ~ Final Project Sections ~ Timeline for Completion Overview Books, television, and movies are full of stories revealing the day-to-day realities of various professions.

These stories provide a behind-the-scenes look at the often-unknown stress, joy, and effort involved in being a doctor, law enforcement agent, or even a chef. What do you think the day-to-day life of a clinical mental health counselor is like?

What constitutes a typical day for a clinical mental health counselor, or is there no such thing? For the Final Project in this course, you will uncover the hidden realities of the daily life of a clinical mental health counselor.

For this Final Project, you will conduct an in-person interview with a licensed clinical mental health counselor. You are encouraged to seek out an interviewee who works with a population in a setting that interests you.

As you write up your interview for the Final Project, apply the information from this course to demonstrate your understanding of what it means to be a clinical mental health counselor. Final Project Overview ~ Final Project Details ~ Final Project Sections ~ Timeline for Completion Please note that you must interview a licensed clinical mental health counselor.

It is NOT acceptable to interview a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, addictions specialist, school counselor, or other mental health provider for this assignment. Counselors have unique training, credentialing, and ethical standards.

Because this course is housed in the School of Counseling, this assignment is to be oriented toward that unique professional identity. If you are confused about this requirement, please contact your instructor for clarification.
