Unit Outline: COUN2951- Counselling Children and Young People 1 Last updated: Trimester 3 2018 Unit Outline COUN2951: Counselling Children and Young People Unit description This unit introduces students to key theories of development in children and young people. Because of the dependence of children and young people on adults and their early stages of development, counselling practice with children and young people poses unique ethical and legal challenges. A systems perspective for assessment of children and young people in their family, social and cultural contexts will be presented. Students will develop skills in a range of therapeutic interventions and critically compare approaches in terms of their effectiveness, the role of the client, and outcomes. Students will also critically reflect on their personal history and its influence on their countertransference responses to children and young people, and develop skills in maintaining professional boundaries.

Recommended readings The readings list is located under the section requirements of each section for the unit. These readings are selected from journals and books that provide additional information or a different perspective on topics covered in each section. They are from a range of authorities and expand the content of this unit. Studying for this unit The content of this unit has been designed to maximise the learning and the integration of the subject matter. Much of the unit material is specific to the Australian context. Students are encouraged to access additional information relevant to their local context, which will assist in applying the learning and ensuring its relevance. This may include specific legislation, government and professional association resources, and journals. It is important that students’ reading is broad. In general students are expected to: read each section of the unit carefully and make notes new content, and points that are unclear, or in conflict with previous learning or experience complete readings of the text and other readings and resources, making notes on important insights or facts, especially those relevant to your assignments There may be periodic suggestions or issues on which students are asked to deliberate and reflect. Sometimes these are dilemmas or difficult issues associated with the study topic which have no right or wrong answers, but are used to trigger critical thinking.

Unit Outline: COUN2951- Counselling Children and Young People 4 Last updated: Trimester 3 2018 Learning activities Learning activities are set in each section of the unit to give opportunities for further learning. They are designed to help students think through and practice the specific skills and general concepts presented in this unit. They do not need to be sent to the academic teacher for marking. However, valuable learning opportunities will be missed by not completing the activities. In studying this unit, students should maintain a learning journal for completing the activities. To structure the learning journal, set aside space for: completing a glossary of new terminology and concepts introduced in this unit notes on unit content and readings answers to learning activities draft assessments. Students can also keep the learning journal electronically. Self-assessment There are self-assessment questions at the end of each section to test students’ understanding of the section’s content. Try to recall the answers to these questions unaided. Write down answers from memory before going back to review the relevant material in the section. Some of the questions require more than simple recall. Some will require synthesising separate issues or different pieces of information. Real learning is not just remembering the reading. It involves owning this knowledge by: reflecting questioning relating theory to personal experience integrating a number of readings on a particular topic or concept paraphrasing. Assignments The assignments for this unit are carefully set so they develop from and support the key concepts and skills of the unit, and are aligned with the learning outcomes for this unit.
