Intervention Skills I

Course: COR1920

Community and justice workers require a toolkit of intervention approaches to support the people they work with. Students develop basic individual support skills widely used in the community and justice field. Students examine approaches and interventions which foster strong and collaborative relationships with clients. Students also practice and develop competency in basic intervention skills such as active listening, awareness of body language, using open and closed questions, use of empathy to build trust and self-reflection. These competencies are used to work with clients across differences of class, race, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, religion, and culture. These skills are developed through a variety of learning approaches, including lectures, role plays, discussions, and small group activities.
