The goal of the CE & S Task Force is to provide best practices and resources in social justice work for counselor educators and supervisors, as it is the responsibility of counselor educators and supervisors to ensure that counseling trainees (1) understand power, privilege, and oppression as it exists in the counseling/supervision room and in all systems in society, (2) have the skills to challenge oppressive systems, and (3) have the skills to empower and work alongside oppressed communities to ensure equitable educational, mental health, economic, and life outcomes.

Presented by: Brooks Collins-Gaines, Dr. Richard Garvin, Dr. Fawn Gordon, Dr. Megan Seaman Racism is a polarizing social and political topic in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2021), “racism is a system – consisting of structures, polices, practices, and norms – that assigns value and determines opportunity based on the way people look or the color of their skin.” This system unjustly gives a group of people privilege, while oppressing other groups. Due to the normalized nature of racism and overt/covert prejudice the discussion of CRT is necessary for counseling professionals. Participants will learn about the history of CRT and how it has become more relevant in the counseling profession. Participants will engage in discussions related to their own experiences with racism. The presentation will conclude with participants outlining how the learned competencies and knowledge of CRT can be implemented into their own practice. Participants are eligible for 1 CE hour through NBCC CSJ Spring TOWN HallOur next town hall is scheduled for March 10th at 6pm CST/7pm EST! Join us to meet with fellow CSJ members, connect with other chapters, learn how to start your own chapter, and discover new ways to get involved with CSJ!
