looking for college that offers mental health counseling degree online

Just for info:
They can in the UK.
My daughter graduated from York University with a DipHE in psychology and now works for a city helping problem kids.

For the USA or for your state check help wanted adds to see what qualifications are needed.

 

You can work in social services with a BSW just like someone with a bachelor's in psychology, except, the BSW will come with the bonus of being a licensed provider if your state licenses social workers at the bachelor's level. However, the BSW will require a practicum where you will have to work somewhere onsite. This is supposed to be an exhaustive list of CSWE-accredited, online social work programs.

So someone can work in social services with a bachelors in psychology. I am in Georgia I have seen some people with a degree in psychology work in social services saw their degree on the wall. what I want to do is counsel children and also refer them to resources that can help them and coping skills.

 

So i could work in social services with a bachelors degree in psychology and counsel children as well? i have an appointment with my counselor next week so i am going to ask her what are the requirements for the agency. its mental health facility under the state but the albany community service board runs it they get state funding and are under the Georgia behavioral department they are short handed they always need help they have 2 psychiatrists 1 nurse practitioner several counselors but there are lots of patients everyday they are short handed so i want to help them out.

 

Well looks like Troy University will be the choice any school under the University system of Georgia has to take P.E I tried to get them to substitute with health class but one of the colleges Darton I keep telling them I had a knee injury from my abuse it was bent over not aligned correctly both of my knees and torn ligament so surgery had to be done and was told it wouldn't be 100% ever again and would take sever years to heal. Darton keeps saying to me you can try in 2 years. How is Troy University? has anyone attended there before? I've heard its a good university

 

I've heard a lot of good about Troy University. How is Troy? do they help students to find employment after graduating?

 

A licensed social worker with a masters degree has a much, much wider scope of practice than an equivalent masters in psychology or masters in counseling or family therapy. The MSW is the way to go if you aren't going further than a masters.

A bachelors in social work will allow you to practice, but in the US, the overwhelming majority of positions open for social workers are for people with an MSW, not a BSW.

So a bachelors in either psychology or social work is going to offer very limited career choices, but either is a good foundation to a masters degree. One option is to do a bachelors in psychology or sociology (of which there are a ton of online programs) and then do a two-year MSW. If you are able to find a BSW program then you can get into a one-year MSW program.

 

i want to do social service since i've seen you can do that without a degree but i didn't know there was programs with a bachelors degree in psychology to do 2 years MSW thanks for the information

 

wow i just looked it up there are programs online that offer the MSW for one year so after i complete my bachelors in psychology i can start at a Masters in Social work i don't have to do a bachelors is that correct? i also read that a clinical social worker can diagnose children and counsel them as well

 

so between a bachelors in psychology and bachelors social work which would work for i want to help children and talk with them to help with their problems teach them coping skills and offer advice and resources

 

i meant to type which would work for me BSW or B.S in psychology

 

sorry for the posts but are there entry level jobs for people with a bachelors in social work i'm trying to see which is a better fit for me so will need help in deciding i just read this website The Georgia Society for Clinical Social Workers there are clinical social workers that can counsel and diagnose how does someone become a clinical social worker do they get a bachelors or masters degree

 

Troy University doesn't offer the degree in social work online only the dothan campus has it can someone refer me to a good university that has it online and a university that will help a student find a job in the field i will most likely intern at department of family children services i am in Georgia

 

i want to work as a clinical social worker

 

You might benefit from starting here:

Also, there are multiple threads in our archives on DL SW degrees.

 

I also posted a direct link on page 2 to all of the CSWE-accredited distance programs in social work. There aren't many to choose from, so just start there.

 

i don't see the link for the distant programs i emailed the colleges from the CSWE i sent an email to several they don't offer social work online or any course online

 

i just read on the georgia department of family and children services job list on some of the jobs besides a degree in social work you can have a degree in any kind of behavioral science so the degree in psychology would work i am having no luck in finding a accredited college that offers a bachelors degree online in social work so it looks like i will have to obtain my bachelors in psychology and then if needed go after the 1 year program to obtain masters in social work

 

Does anyone know of a good college that offers a B.S in psychology Troy University doesn't do interns for undergraduate students

 

well i just found Florida Tech Online they offer a B.A in psychology which offers child advocacy or clinical psychology i think thats good because i want to help children and also fight for them on rights of being abused i like behavioral counseling how is a B.A degree in psychology
