Abstract
I request sabbatical leave for the fall 2014 semester. I have worked as a full time employee of Parkland College for almost fourteen years. The goal of my sabbatical is to become reinvigorated and update my counseling skills so that I may continue to provide counseling services to students to the best of my ability. As a counselor, I provide academic, career, personal counseling, and crisis intervention as needed. In the last five years our department, the college, and in schools across the country, there has been a marked increase in the number of students presenting more complex mental health issues especially those in crisis. I desire to update my counseling skills, in particular as it relates to working with students in crisis and requiring cognitive and behavioral intervention. I would like to spend the semester reading the latest professional journals, and books, and attending seminars and conferences directly related to mental health issues. I am hoping to work at Parkland College for many years to come and be equipped to meet the continued and ever changing demands of the students and our institution.
