Social Justice and Advocacy in Counseling

This is the "go-to" book for counselor educators who want to increase student awareness, knowledge, and skills about social justice and advocacy. It is designed to engage student learning and to be utilized throughout the curriculum in a broad range of courses by addressing core standards as well as counseling specialty areas. This book offers an expansive array of creative activities to explore issues and expand student awareness in areas such as: power, privilege, ableism, oppression, biases, multicultural competence, identity development, marginalization, LBGTQ concerns, racism, immigration, homelessness, and addictions. It’s a great contribution to the field!

Judy Daniels, EdD, University of Hawaii, Counselors for Social Justice President (2010-2011)

The editors and contributors to this book are to be commended for moving social justice from an abstract principle into the realm of the practical. The activities presented in this book bring the concept of social justice alive in powerful and meaningful ways. Organizing the book with activities that present the principles of social justice and advocacy, address the CACREP core principles from a social justice and advocacy point of view, and offer activities for the different counseling specialties means that this is a work for all counselors and counselors-in-training committed to ensuring access and equity.

Counseling professionals will be enriched by this very innovative book promoting social justice and advocacy competencies in different contexts and with multiculturally diverse individuals and communities. The treasure trove of activities in the book are developmental, practical, and culturally relevant for today’s complex society. It really is a wonderful book!
