The primary goal of the UNCW Counseling Center CE program is to provide enriching educational opportunities that increase professional knowledge, skill acquisition, and networking. The CE program offers programming targeted for psychologists, psychological associates, counselors, social workers and other physical/mental health professionals, administrators, educators and graduate students who work with college students or deal with issues related to late adolescence and early adulthood.
An additional goal of the program is to address the needs of professionals in Southeastern North Carolina by providing accessible programs which reflect concerns relevant to the area.
A third goal of the program is to include programs that address targeted populations such as returning military/veterans, rural communities, and diversity elements including but not limited to disability, race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status.
