Owensboro Community & Technical College will be offering two online social work courses for the spring semester that will both be transferable to both Brescia University or Western Kentucky University.
The courses, introduction to social services and crisis intervention, are both three-hour classes that will begin Jan. 11 and run through May 1. Introduction to social services also includes a lab and provides an overview of the programs and challenges faced by professionals in the field. Crisis intervention focuses on intervention theory, suicide prevention and risk assessment techniques, according to OCTC.
Both courses are taught by Cori Douglas and Amanda Greenwell, who are licensed and working in the field of social services.
