What Is MyHelpingLab?

MyHelpingLab is an online destination designed to help students in Social Work, Counseling & Psychotherapy, Marriage/Family Therapy, and Human Services make the transition from their academic coursework to their professional practice. It is appropriate for use in any course where video footage of actual therapist-client sessions, case worker-client interactions, rich cases, and licensing/career preparation is important.

MyHelpingLab addresses individual teaching and learning needs by providing multiple modes of learning and practice. It saves in-class time for faculty and helps increase student success in any course by providing a multimedia "shared experience" that can be accessed conveniently -- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. What's more, it's EASY!
