Native american clinical considerationsKjtelljohann
Native Americans represent diverse cultures and tribes, and counseling approaches should recognize each person's uniqueness. Understanding historical trauma from colonization helps explain contemporary issues like high rates of substance abuse and domestic violence. Effective counseling involves respect, flexibility, observing a client's cultural framework rather than assumptions, and addressing both individual and community needs through culturally-appropriate interventions. Humor can be a powerful tool when used sensitively and with the client's lead.
Native american clinical considerationsKjtelljohann
Native Americans represent diverse cultures and should not be viewed as a single homogeneous group. When counseling Native Americans, it is important to understand their unique history and culture without making assumptions. Specifically, one should consider the impacts of historical trauma, recognize strengths like tribal sovereignty and community, and utilize culturally-appropriate interventions that respect Native spiritual traditions and worldviews. Humor can also be an effective, culturally-sensitive tool if used appropriately in the counseling relationship.

Ethnic Diversity: Ethnic diversity refers to the variety of ethnic groups and races represented within a population. It acknowledges the unique identities, histories, and experiences of individuals from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Gender Diversity: Gender diversity recognizes the differences and complexities of gender identity and expression. It encompasses the full spectrum of gender identities, including male, female, transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming individuals.
Generational Diversity: Generational diversity acknowledges the different perspectives, values, and communication styles of individuals from different generations, such as Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z.

Youth Homelessness in Canada: Implications for Policy and Practice PDFTheHomelessHub
Youth homelessness is a seemingly intractable problem in Canada. In communities across the country, people are increasingly aware of the sight of young people who are without a home, sleeping in parks, sitting on sidewalks or asking for money. What do we know about these young people, and what should we do?
Youth Homelessness in Canada: Implications for Policy and Practice aims to fill a gap in the information available on this important issue by providing an easily accessible collection of the best Canadian research and policy analysis in the field.
If we are going to solve youth homelessness in a meaningful way, we need solutions that are informed by the best research. This book has been written with this in mind. In this volume, leading Canadian scholars present key findings from their research on youth homelessness. In an effort to make this research accessible as well as relevant to decision-makers and practitioners, contributing authors have been asked to address the ‘so whatness’ of their research; to make clear the policy and practice implications of their research so as to better inform the efforts of those working to address youth homelessness.
The contributors to this book are committed to supporting the development of more effective solutions to youth homelessness. Not only can we do things differently, we need to. And research on youth homelessness can help make a difference.
This document discusses gender inequality and its causes and impacts. It defines key terms like gender, sex, and sexism. It discusses how feminist theory analyzes gender roles and status. Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment based on gender and exists in many areas of life. It creates issues like child marriage, violence against women, health problems and poverty. While progress has been made in education and politics, women still face barriers. Overall, gender inequality negatively impacts both women's well-being and social development. Solutions require continued education, empowerment, and legislation to establish equality and prevent discrimination.
The document discusses racism and diversity. It notes that racism today is often subtle and covert, occurring through "have a nice day racism" where victims may not realize they have been victimized. It says racism affects people of all races and ethnicities. It argues that for society to overcome racism, we must accept diversity and understand that other people and cultures have equal integrity and claim to the world. Institutional racism embedded in society's institutions also must be addressed through acknowledgement and understanding that racism still exists. Acceptance of diversity is important as no one has an obligation to change themselves but rather reach out and create bonds between all people.

Bands more powerful working together.Maliseet, along with the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac, and Abernaki comprise what is known as the northeastern Algonkian or Wabanaki group of Native Americans
Understandably, leaders from the Wabanaki Confederacy often banded together to accomplish universal goals. For example, these Wabanaki Confederacy bands worked together to avoid oil drilling on their land (Indigenous leaders call for 12 year drilling moratorium in Gulf of Saint Lawrence - APTN National News). This is a phenomenal example of “acting as one”. These bands know that they can get more accomplished through teamwork than they could on their own- they clearly understand that there is power in numbers.
As for clarity, climate, and capability, the Maliseet clearly stated their disapproval of relocation numerous times to the Canadian Government (Walls, M). Meanwhile, climate and capability can go hand in hand in the sense that one needs to have team members with the capabilities to facilitate a climate conducive to accomplishing the group’s desired goals. Leaders of the Maliseet formed coalitions with prominent New Brunswickers such as Native-rights advocate and amateur anthropologist Edwin Tappan Adney (Walls, M) that were extremely influential in the fight against Maliseet relocation. Adney helped gain political support for the Maliseet through his contact Herbert H. Gunter, who had powerful connections.
“While Tappan Adney was perhaps the most vocal champion of the Maliseet anti-centralization cause, the Maliseet also solicited support from other non-Natives, clearly targeting individuals with political influence and obtaining some success in this regard. One of these individuals was solicitor Herbert H. Gunter… Gunter had connections in high places. The day after Paul’s visit (Chief John S. Paul), Gunter wrote a letter outlining the chief’s concerns about centralization to his friend and law partner and federal Minister of Fisheries H.F. Bridges. Bridges at the time the senior New Brunswicker in the cabinet of Liberal Prime Minister William Lyon MacKenzie King, took an interest in the matter. He forwarded Paul’s concerns to J.A. Glen, the minister of the Department of Mines and Resources (the home department of the IAB (Indian Affairs Branch)) and requested information about the planned Kingsclear centralization (Walls, M)”.
In short, Adney helped the Maliseet in that he began a chain reaction that would ultimately facilitate relationships and new allies between policy makers, the public, and Maliseet leaders. Although Adney was unable to completely accomplish his goal by himself, he was able to facilitate change by utilizing connections that did in fact have the capabilities he needed.
The other components of collective leadership include the B’s- belonging, believing and behaving. The Maliseet, as well as the activists working alongside them, easily created a sense of belonging between those against centralization by getting everyone involved in some way. For example, the Special Joint Committee heard evidence from parties involved in Indian Affairs such as IAB officials, church leaders, and social scientists on topics pertaining to centralization. Maliseet viewpoints were incorrectly conveyed until the traveling Royal Commission physically visited Maliseet locations for interviews and statements pertaining to centralization- virtually all of these statements and interviews were “remarkably” highly against centralization, contradicting their opponents’ given views. Without substantial band member involvement in these interviews, it is possible that centralization would have occurred. Believing also played a component in the interactions between Maliseet band members and the traveling Royal Commission in that it is often evident in testimonial statements as to how passionate one is towards a cause.
Lastly, there is the act of behaving. The Maliseet were able to outlast the Canadian Government in terms of good and ethical behavior.
“In Woodstock, Chief Polchies, when faced with the request to relocate, was reluctant to make a snap decision. He was, however, pressured by IAB officials to do so. Polchies explained to Tappan Adney that when federal officials asked his consent to have his community moved, he told them ‘he desired to consult members of the Band first, but was told they hadn’t time. Then he told them he wanted to first consult a person at Woodstock by phone, by the name being given ‘adney’; but they hadn’t time to wait.’ The Maliseet were also pressured to move by federal threats; if they did not move, their own communities would lose IAB services. Chief John Paul of Oromocto, for example, testified in a sworn statement that Agent Edward Whalen and another IAB official had ‘discussed with me the subject of removals to Kingsclear and told me that if the Oromocto Indians refused to remove to Kingsclear and choose to remain on their reserve, they will be considered by the government no longer entitled to the allowances and services that we have been receiving as Indians. That we will be white people and will have to pay taxes” (Walls, M).
As this form of coercion became more evident publicly, public support began to flood in for the Maliseet affected in the area of dispute. It is quite possible that due to the Maliseet Band’s tenacity in not giving up, enormous support was garnered for the cause once the Canadian Government began to lose patience with the Maliseet.
There are numerous overlapping collective leadership qualities between Quigley’s and Sveiby’s descriptions of what makes good collective leaders and groups. Many of the behaviors classified as hindering DAC involve leaders and/or group members of a coalition not behaving in ways that are becoming to the group. In the specific case of the “Kingsclear Blunder”, it significantly helps the cause of the Maliseet that Indigenous relocation is commonly viewed by many in society as unethical behavior on behalf of the government involved. It has been shown numerous times that bands are politically more powerful when they form coalitions with other bands that hold similar goals (Hendrix, B.A.). It appears that collective leadership is one of the more noticeable techniques utilized by bands facing unjust treatment from their respective governments- minority groups are more powerful when they work together towards common goals, in addition to when they form allies with sympathetic outsiders who hold similar values. Political power is often accumulated by swaying the opinions of potential voters or of people in power, in this particular case it would be when Adney contacts Gunter about the inherent need to avoid centralization, thus setting in motion a chain of events that lead to the minister of the Department of Mines and Resources (the home department of the IAB (Indian Affairs Branch)) requesting information on the planned Kingsclear centralization. This information request subsequently sheds light on the reasons why the Maliseet wanted to avoid relocation- to avoid the desecration of their sacred homeland by outsiders and to avoid psychological and physical suffering that would ensue when culturally significant ties to their land are forcefully cut.
The Maliseet opposition used many hindering DAC behaviors in that they continuously attempted to obfuscate the desires presented by the Maliseet leadership. The Canadian Government at the time denied the opportunity to learn about the Maliseet’s dissenting opinions on the relocation plan, and frequently tried to manipulate the final decision in their favor through disruption of communication between key players involved in the Maliseet cause. It was not until fairly recently that the Canadian Government took responsibility for the mistreatment of the aboriginal people, not only those involved in the Kingsclear affair but throughout Canada as a whole.
-Prehistory rules for ethical and acceptable behavior as depicted by the Nhunggabarra indigenous people in Australia. A good leader treats their followers and their opposition honorably.
