Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling

Title:
Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Through Relational-Cultural Theory
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Thelma Duffey, PhD and Shane Haberstroh, EdD
Description:
Counselors continue to have much work to do in examining their worldviews, points of privilege, awareness of their social position, and how they share power in their work with clients (Duffey & Haberstroh, 2022). Duffey and Haberstroh pointed out a study that indicated that among 2,112 clients of color, 81% reported experiencing at least one microaggression from their counselor and that such experiences make the voices and truths of clients of color become marginalized and unheard. As indicated by Duffey and Haberstroh, the implication is that counselors need to work from a theoretical framework that distinctly addresses how power, culture, and relationship flow in the counseling process while offering counselors and clients a framework to understand and create mutually supportive, authentic, and growth-promoting relationships. In this vein, Relational-cultural theory (RCT) provides a conceptually roadmap and counseling philosophy that can help counselors evaluate the centrality of relationships, culture, social justice, and power. This Continuing Professional Development resource is based on Chapter 2 from the ACA book (2022) Counseling and Psychotherapy: Theories and Interventions (7th ed.).
Learning Objectives:
1. Know the major constructs of Relational-cultural theory (RCT). 2. Understand the applications of RCT in counseling and psychotherapy. 3. Recognize supporting research and limitations to RCT.

Undue Police Violence Toward African Americans

Title:
Undue Police Violence Toward African Americans: An Analysis of Professional Counselors’ Training and Perceptions
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Darius A. Green, PhD and Amanda M. Evans, PhD
Description:
Green and Evans (2021) stated that data suggests that African Americans are more likely to experience threats, profiling, and traffic stops by officers and are more likely to perceive an officer’s use of force as excessive than White Americans. Direct exposure to undue police violence (UPV) has mental health implications, and the impact of UPV on African Americans is disproportionate compared with White Americans. However, little is known about counselors’ beliefs, knowledge, and skills in addressing UPV. This Continuing Professional Development resource provides counselors with a rationale to understand the beliefs, knowledge, and skills of counselors associated with Undue Police Violence (UPV), Explain the relationship between the perception of officer legitimacy, beliefs held about UPV, perceived racism, and beliefs on preparation and on efficacy to address UPV, and recognize recommendations for researchers and counselors.
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand the beliefs, knowledge, and skills of counselors associated with Undue Police Violence (UPV).
2.Explain the relationship between the perception of officer legitimacy, beliefs held about UPV, perceived racism, and beliefs on preparation and on efficacy to address UPV.
3.Recognize recommendations for researchers and counselors.
