Community Counseling Clinic
The University Of Central Florida Community Counseling Clinic offers free individual, couple and family counseling sessions. On occasion, we also conduct group-counseling programs. With the exception of short semester breaks, the Community Counseling Clinic (CCC) operates weekdays and evenings throughout the year. Counseling sessions are usually 45-50 minutes in length. You are welcome to attend as long as you and your counselor agree that the services are of mutual benefit. If you continue for longer than one semester, a different counselor may see you.
Graduate students from the Counselor Education and Clinical Psychology Programs staff the CCC. All sessions are videotaped and monitored by closed circuit TV. A faculty member and/or advanced graduate student learning clinical supervision skills observes the counseling session. Your counselor (a graduate student) receives consultation and suggestions from the supervisor(s) reviewing these tapes. In some instances, other graduate students in training or professionals will participate in these conferences. These activities are intended to ensure that you are receiving the highest quality service. The CCC adheres to the ethical standards of the American Counseling Association and/or the American Psychological Association. Clients are accepted on a first come first serve basis. Referrals are made to outside sources when necessary.

Project TEACH - Teachers Eradicating AIDS: Coalition for Health
Every Teacher an AIDS Educator
The effect of HIV/AIDS on the African continent and other parts of the world demands innovative strategies that will maximize existing resources in combating a crisis of unprecedented proportions. Project TEACH is a unique collaborative that involves communities in a grassroots approach to disseminating information about HIV/AIDS. The goal of Project TEACH is that every primary school teacher in Kenya should be a HIV/AIDS educator. Teachers participate in a 10-session training conducted by the Kenya Association of Professional Counsellors. Through this training, teachers learn some core counseling skills that facilitate optimal delivery of the government mandated HIV/AIDS curriculum. The teachers in turn are given the mandate to 'spread the word' through a variety of Community Activity Projects that they design and implement with different groups in their own communities.
