Desc: | Uncle Joe's Peer Counseling Training Workshop:
This course awards credit to 6 current Joe's counselors (1 Training Director and 5 Trainers) involved in the training process of the 2016 Uncle Joe's recruits. Uncle Joe's Training includes, but is not limited to: student life and grief, family, diversity, substance abuse and dependence, mental illness, sexual health and IPV (Inter-partner Violence), eating disorders, sexual assault and rape, suicide and self-injury. The trainers are intended to guide the trainees through these topics, while also serving as a unique experience of a focused exploration of topics/issues/questions that emerge as particularly important to each trainer. Regular documentation (field notes or journal entries) will give trainers the ability to refer back to their thoughts and personal growth when considering a final reflective project (in any form they see most appropriate with consultation from the supervisor). The guidance from a faculty supervisor will inform each trainer's targeted topic and provide trainers with instruction and suggestions as they see fit, so that the final project can be useful in contexts beyond the training process. The trainers can focus on any topic they see as significant to them, and may choose to consult with the training director if they so wish.
Training will take place between January 26th and April 12th, and will occur biweekly on Tuesday nights from 7pm to 10pm and Saturdays from 10am to 6pm. Trainers will meet biweekly on Sunday nights from 6pm to 8pm and Thursday nights from 6pm to 8pm to prepare for the following training session. The mandatory trainer's retreat is Tuesday, January 19th from 6pm to 8pm and the following biweekly trainer's meetings begins on Sunday, January 24th and ends on Sunday, April 10th. These commitments, in addition to the actual training, will result in ~130 hours of commitment.
