Being an Ally: Honoring the Contributions of Ethnic Minority Psychological Associations
Neville, Helen A.; Flores, Michelle P.; Dodson, Milo L.
Counseling Psychologist, v40 n5 p738-745 Jul 2012
We underscore the importance of this compilation in our response to the major contribution on the histories of the five major ethnic minority psychological associations (EMPAs). The description of the formation, mission, goals, and activities of the EMPAs will serve as a useful tool to educate counseling psychologists and other professionals about the under-examined contributions of the EMPAs in promoting psychology. There are lessons that the Society of Counseling Psychology (SCP) can learn from the EMPAs in terms of fostering a sense of belonging within the organization and strengthening its involvement of students and early career professionals. We hope that the SCP can join with EMPAs on future collective social justice efforts and that SCP can serve as an ally in promoting the interest and activities of the EMPAs.
