37. Multicultural
Counseling
A type of counseling where the therapist addresses the
struggles of a client whose race, gender, socioeconomic
background, religion, or any other part of their identity
doesn’t fit in with the majority.
Minorities have a history of dealing with racism and
oppression, and in this lens, a counselor doesn’t take that
information into account isn’t able to effectively counsel.
In the counseling session, the sociocultural environment of
the individual and issues of power and privilege are given
attention.
This is a strength based- approach; counselors focus on
positive change in both the process and outcome.

41. Guidance Counselor: What does the
future hold?

global pandemic. That role is to LISTEN to students, help
students transform their goals into actions and support
students’ mental health during challenging times.

nation’s young people as they move through their educational
journey in times of new normal.

the pandemic as they guide students/parents/guardians in
facing the inevitabilities of the new normal.
