[This would be a great place to put a wiki (or link to a wiki) that students could update and expand]
Website information is dynamic and fluid. This page will eventually link to a wiki that students can update and expand with websites they find helpful in their studies while at SMC. Until then let's think about some good tips for finding websites that are useful to counseling students.
Finding a national association of professionals in your counseling interest can provide you with a number of resources such as links to:
General information about your area of interest
Current research
Recommended readings
Online communities you can join (e.g. listservs)
For example when I search Google using
I find the National Association of School Psychologists, a site that is filled with valuable resources.
Other searches that might be interesting are types of therapies, ????.
Limit your results by adding the following criteria to your searches
