Learners engage with theory, research, and models that inform ethical and culturally competent counseling in a variety of settings. Learners analyze counseling theories and evidence-based practices that emphasize the relevance of advocacy competencies within the profession. Throughout the course, learners investigate the role of culture, values, counselor credibility, and preconception within the counseling context. Learners are encouraged to explore their own societal experiences for greater insight into the counseling process and its relevance to real-world experiences. In addition, learners gain an understanding of the role of the counselor advocate in promoting client wellbeing.
