As a residential counselor, you will have the opportunity to provide services to people in a variety of facilities, including group homes, withdrawal management centres and psychiatric hospitals. Because of the nature of your work, your efforts are integral to the success of your clients. Resident counselors provide services like one-to-one therapy, advocacy and crisis support to clients, and to do this, you need to be compassionate and invested in your clients' well-being.
Residential counselors usually need a master's degree in counseling or a related field, such as social work, although some positions will hire applicants with a bachelor's degree. Specialized diplomas are also an asset. These can include non-violent crisis intervention, addictions counseling and suicide prevention. Since you will be working in an intense environment, the ability to think on your feet and work under pressure is essential.
