The University Certificate in Counselling Women applies contemporary feminist theory to the practice of counselling. The program develops basic counselling skills with a particular emphasis on acquiring crisis intervention skills.

The program is ideal for professionals and volunteers—crisis workers, social workers, family life educators, adult educators, nurses, teachers, and vocational counsellors—who will acquire the skills to help women solve specific and everyday problems.

Students holding a Diploma in Social Work should choose electives in consultation with an AU advisor to ensure the electives meet the requirements of the UCCW, BPA Human Services and B. Health Administration.

The elective courses can consist of AU courses and approved courses from other institutions. The certificate can be transferred to other programs at AU and other universities if the courses fit the requirements at the receiving institution. For details, please contact the Program Coordinator.

AU advisors have developed a Program Plan to assist you.
