The
McLeod Institute on Substance Abuse is a one-week course
designed to provide educational experiences for both
graduate/certificate students and for counselors working
in the professional community. Topics and presenters
vary each year based on the selected theme of the
Institute. Examples of topics from previous years
include addiction & the elderly, motivational
interviewing, sex addiction, working with substance
abusing athletes, family therapy with addicted clients.
Approved training credit hours are applied for through
the North Carolina Professional Practice Board. Topics
such as Clinical Supervision, HIV/Hep C, and Ethics are
offered as seminars for those interested in licensure as
a substance abuse counselor. Please visit
http://education.uncc.edu/oeo/mcleod
for information on this year’s Institute.
Instruction is
both didactic and experiential. The Institute concludes
with an awards luncheon featuring a keynote speaker and
a mandatory student forum. Students who are registered
for graduate credit are required to complete assignments
in addition to attending the entire Institute. Students
from other institutions may attend the McLeod Institute
for graduate credit, but first must be admitted to the
Graduate School as a Post Bac student.
