ABSTRACT
For the past several deca des, mental health professionals (MHPs) have been cautioned, no, challenged to make their provision of services more culturally relevant. Until more recent years, this meant that the MHP relied on either preconceived notions of what was construed as culturally relevant and appropriate service provision or they looked on their current practice and said “I provide services that are sensitive to all, regardless of their background.” Somewhere between these two positions lies the current practice of culturally sensitive and relevant counseling in today’s mental health field.
