Hi, I am about to graduate with a B.A. in Sociology. My current plan is to attend a community college to receive a Chemical Dependency certificate and afterwords, pursue a Masters in social work. However, I'm just not sure if this is the best plan. I know that this is the path I want to pursue but have a few questions.
If I want to become a CDP counselor, it is required for me to have a certificate. So, do graduate schools in social work generally provide this certificate? Or do people just attend graduate schools to specialize in a certain area?
What other plan do you think may be better for me?
Although I'm currently interested in becoming a CDP counselor, I'm not limiting myself to just this area (in social work). I have some interest in becoming a probation officer as well. Are there any licenses I need to have to become a probation officer?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and give me advice.
