Program Description:
This program is designed to prepare students to work in a variety of
mental health and human services agencies. This curriculum is designed
to train students to work as members of a mental health services
delivery team and to render service directly to clients who may be in
need of counseling, therapy, education or help with social problems.
Graduates of the program are employed in mental hospitals, community
mental health clinics, centers for developmentally disabled, substance
abuse treatment programs and other agencies responsible for the mental
health and human service needs of the community.
Admission to this program is a separate process from admission to the
college. Admission to the School of Health Professions programs is
competitive and selective and is based on published criteria.
Information about admissions processes for the programs in the School of
Health Professions and the Selective Admissions Application form are
available in the Office of Selective Admissions in Room J-101 on the
Essex Campus or by calling 410-780-6112. This information is also
available in the Admissions or Records and Registration office on each
campus.
School of Health Professions Policies: Students in the School of Health
Professions are expected to conduct themselves according to an honor
code, exhibit professional behavior, communicate effectively in English,
provide proof of health insurance and immunizations, and may be asked to
submit to a criminal background check and random urine drug testing.
Program Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program,
students will be able to:
-
evaluate and track a case to determine the appropriate intervention
strategies;
-
conduct assessment interviews and provide therapeutic communication to
diverse client groups;
-
co-lead psycho-educational treatment groups;
-
conduct a crisis assessment;
-
demonstrate the values, attitudes, and professional behavior important
to becoming a mental health/human service worker; and

practiced in the field of mental health/human services.
