Description

The Black Lives Matter movement flipped the script on civil rights activism. In an age of social media, millennial activism, and civil uprising, counselors must update ideals of professional advocacy in practice and understand the specific counseling needs of citizens effected by racism trauma and civil uprising. Exploring stakeholder experiences in Ferguson, MO revealed insights into cultivating racial equity in and out of the counseling room and classroom.
