This course introduces theory and research related to culturally
competent counseling, including multiculturalism, crossculturalism,
intersectionality, social justice, and advocacy. Students consider the
characteristics of diverse populations as they inform counseling and
advocacy practices that promote optimal wellness and growth for
individuals, couples, families, and groups. Students also assess the
influence of their characteristics, attitudes, and beliefs on the
counseling process. Students will examine their roles in promoting
social justice at multiple levels and evaluate approaches for prevention
of clinical mental health issues in a diverse society.
