The Microcounseling training takes place during the fall semester of each training year. Through this component, the HUCS interns are provided with the opportunity to develop their teaching and supervision skills as facilitators of the Microcounseling seminar. 

Microcounseling skills training is a core training activity for graduate-level practicum students in the clinical psychology program. They spend 1.5 hours per week in developing basic helping skills. HUCS interns provide this training through the Microcounseling seminar which utilizes didactic instruction, case material and the discussion of role plays. HUCS interns receive weekly supervision from a UCS senior staff member to assist them in their role as seminar facilitators.
