Social Justice and Advocacy Training for Counselors: Using Outreach to Achieve Praxis
Goodman, Rachael D.; West-Olatunji, Cirecie
Online Submission
The purpose of this paper is to present recommendations for conducting outreach in order to further the efforts in the counseling field towards social justice and advocacy. Informed by Freire's (2000) critical consciousness theory, examples of culturally centered counseling services are presented as outcomes of the experiences of participants. These projects, conducted in the post-Katrina Gulf Coast region, resulted in the establishment of specific recommendations for future clinical outreach endeavors that promote community empowerment, self-determination, and resiliency. Future research can expand on the themes noted in order to continue to promote social justice outreach within the field of counseling.
