Multicultural Competence; Sustaining our Awareness and Identities (1.5 CEU
The counseling profession holds several values and ethical responsibilities. Of these values and responsibilities, honoring the dignity, worth, and uniqueness of an individual within their social and cultural context is highly important (ACA, 2014). In this session, the presenter shares the valuable lessons learned while navigating the dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression within the counseling relationship (Ratts et al., 2016). Suggestions for maintaining a culturally sustaining identity will be explored, along with actionable advocacy strategies to heighten awareness, build community, and respect and protect the clients/students we serve.
