Students will learn how issues of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, culture, gender, sexual orientation, physical/psychological ability, religion, and age impact the counselor, client, and counseling relationship. This course also addresses how the mental health delivery system is based on Eurocentric delivery systems which often disenfranchise cultural minorities. Culturally sensitive counseling strategies are introduced to provide students with a conceptual and practical framework for respectfully working with diverse populations.
