PSY 190 - Introduction to Empathy and Helping Techniques


This course is designed to introduce students to the basic skills of “helping” and will focus on the practical issues of the human services paraprofessional. Major emphasis will be placed on learning evidence-based models and techniques of change as well as the process of communication and the barriers to being an effective communicator. Special populations and situations such as suicide, substance abuse, values clarification, stress management and mental illness will be discussed. This course will benefit students who plan to work directly with consumers in a human services setting. This course is a once-a-year offering.
