The CTC Mental Health Services department offers associate degrees in chemical dependency, at-risk youth, one associate degree in social work specialization, and a certificate of completion for Community Health Work. All programs can be completed online affording students an opportunity to further their education in the midst of busy lives or in the classroom. Faculty are not only credentialed academically to teach but, to date, bring 75 years of field experience to the program.
Students completing either program of study find work in agencies that provide chemical dependency counseling or in the juvenile justice system, residential treatment settings, community based after-school programs and in the public school system as teachers’ aides. Completion of the social work specialization may be transferable to a four-year school, however, students may still find work in the service areas mentioned above.
