Alumna Helps Ensure Counseling Students Engage with Professional Associations
Erica Boughfman has been a major proponent of counseling students attending and presenting information at professional conferences, both in her own involvement and her encouragement of other students.
University of Arkansas presentations made up nearly one-third of the offerings for counseling practitioners and students during a three-day state conference last fall, on topics such as self-injury, teen dating violence and dangers of technology use for adolescents.
Erica Boughfman earned a doctoral degree in counselor education last summer and works as one of two clinical managers of Ozark Guidance's school-based services in Washington County. She was involved in the presentations on understanding self-injurious behavior, the hidden epidemic of teen dating violence and when the Internet and other media use becomes problematic for children and adolescents as well as a fourth session on school-based mental health.
