Found Multicultural Counseling

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to initiate the process of enacting social justice values and use of multicultural competencies in family therapy. This will include growing self-awareness about implicit and explicit biases, deconstruction of dominant colonial discourses in our modern lives, and construction of alternate and equally valuable discourses. We will explore historical trauma for minority communities, the globalization and connectedness of families, and, perhaps most poignantly, the issues of race, skin color, religion, immigration, and sexuality in the U.S.
