USI took the 'Counseling Strategies for Addiction' course at Stanmore School of Business to improve my skills as a substance abuse counselor. The course was pretty cool, and I learned a lot about different counseling approaches, such as the 12-step program and harm reduction. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided some great examples of how to apply the concepts in real-life scenarios. The course materials were also pretty good, although I thought some of the readings could have been more concise. Overall, I'm glad I took the course, and I feel more prepared to work with clients who are struggling with addiction. One thing that really stuck with me was the importance of cultural sensitivity in counseling, and I've been trying to incorporate that into my practice.
