This course is designed to assist students in understanding and valuing diversity so they can become multiculturally competent and better able to work effectively with diverse clients and communities. Specifically, the course focuses on self-awareness and self-assessment; explore various cultural groups; examine important constructs such as oppression, worldview, acculturation, and identity development, and examine numerous multicultural counseling strategies. This will help enhance students' sensitivity to social justice and ethical issues in multicultural encounters. Using class discussions, videos, experiential experiences, and classroom assignments, this course utilizes the tripartite model of multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills as an organizing framework, leading to three primary course objectives: (1) To enhance multicultural awareness. This will include exploring the underlying values, biases, and assumptions influencing your worldview and your clinical work, (2) To increase multicultural knowledge. This will include exploring important definitions, constructs, and theories related to multicultural counseling such as power, privilege, and oppression, identity development, and a better understanding of within and between group similarities and differences across race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and other unique social identity groups, and (3) To develop or enhance multicultural skills. This will include exploring the how to of culturally competent assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in diverse settings.
