ABSTRACT

Social Justice and Advocacy in Counseling provides a thorough and up to date grounding in social justice and advocacy for counseling students and faculty.

Chapters address issues of discrimination and oppression and their effect on individuals and cultural groups through a variety of activities and handouts related to each of the eight CACREP core standards. The book’s final section focuses on activities and handouts related to counseling specialties, including school, career, and addictions counseling.

This book will help counselor educators increase student awareness, knowledge, and skills. For students, the practical activities bring the concept of social justice alive in important ways and will continue to be a handy reference as they develop their careers and promote access and equity.
