The Zoom Signal Protecting Domestic Violence Survivors
A simple gesture allows survivors to seek help without leaving a digital trail

Just weeks into the Covid-19 lockdown, Elizabeth Barajas-Román was alarmed to learn that incidents of intimate partner violence were increasing in countries around the globe. Approaches that support organizations had previously relied on to reach people in abusive relationships, like running a hotline or providing safety planning in the workplace, were proving difficult to implement while people were stuck at home, often in close quarters with the person perpetrating violence.

Now accepting applications for the School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling programs.

  

Now accepting applications for the School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling programs.   Some quick facts about the FGCU counseling graduate programs and our graduates: There are more school counseling and clinical mental health counseling jobs available in Southwest Florida right now than we have available professionals. Most of our graduates are hired before they even graduate! All of our students seeking jobs are hired within 3 months of graduation -- most before graduation, some right afterwards. The FGCU graduate program in school counseling is Department of Education approved and both the school counseling and clinical mental health counseling programs are nationally accredited (CACREP). This is a big deal. It means that you can get to work right away and your degree is highly portable. Typically students attend their courses in the early evenings so you would not have to quit your day job. The Department offers a standard plan of study for students who are working and an accelerated plan of study for students who can take on a greater work load and finish in two years. Several of our courses are "blended" or "hybrid." This means that some traditional face-to-face classes are replaced by online learning activities. This way, we can take advantage of the best features of both face-to-face and online learning. The Department of Counseling also offers a certificate in Relationship and Family Counseling. School Counseling: Graduates from this program work in public and private schools that serve PK-12 students and some work in postsecondary institutions including career and technical centers, special training programs for youth, colleges, and universities. Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Graduates from this program work in community agencies, mental health settings, and private practices after graduation and most seek and achieve licensure. The Department includes an on-campus counseling center as well as funds for student professional development opportunities.
