This paper reviews experiences from a doctoral-level practicum in

counselling psychology that targeted aboriginal and international university

students outside of the mainstream counselling services at a western Canadian university over a two-year period. It recommends an integrated approach,

combining assessment, learning strategy skills, and counselling skills while

incorporating community development methodology. The paper concludes

with recommendations for counsellor training that will enhance services to

both international and aboriginal students.
