Four University of the Ozarks students who are interested in careers in counseling and psychology attended an Arkansas Counseling Association’s Leadership Development Institute one-day mini-conference this summer.
The event was held on June 30 at Lake Dardanelle State Park Visitor’s Center in the Russellville area.
Among those who attended were (pictured, from left) students Jeshaiah Foley, Daniel Hicks, Aryonnah Briggs and (not pictured) Emily Napier, along with Kaethe D. Hoehling, MS LPC-S, director of counseling services at U of O.
Participants heard presentations about state leadership opportunities and professional skills, strategies, and experiences in the areas of wellness, mental health, and psychology. Presentations were made by faculty, graduate students, and licensed professionals from across Arkansas.
Hoehling said these and other U of O students will be offered opportunities for leadership, scholarship, and fellowship at the larger statewide annual Arkansas Counseling Association Fall Conference, scheduled for November in North Little Rock.
“Professional presentations will include such topics as play therapy and autism, trauma, using expressive arts in therapy, anxiety, and neurofeedback,” Hoehling said. “Students will also have the opportunity to make a poster presentation on any academic work or research they are working on with U of O faculty.”
