COUN 6190 - Social and Cultural Foundations


This course is designed to promote development of a theoretical and practical framework for effective delivery of mental health services within the context of multicultural counseling.  In addition to exploring the impact of cultural diversity on the helping relationship, this course will examine the relationship that ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, minority status, aging, and disability plays in the delivery of mental health services.  Students will identify practice‐based strategies that address service delivery to culturally different individuals.  The course will also explore counselor bias and system bias as well as the impact of that implicit and explicit prejudice and discrimination has on the therapeutic relationship.
