Multicultural Counseling Competence

(Arredondo, et al., 1996; Sue, Arredondo, & McDavis, 1992)
  • awareness of the counselor’s own worldview;
  • understanding the worldview of their client; and,
  • skill at providing culturally relevant interventions.
 
Advocacy Competencies are a tool for social justice competence:
Social Justice Advocacy Competence is the ability, understanding and knowledge to facilitate the removal of external and institutional barriers to clients’ well-being. Advocacy-oriented counselors recognize the impact of social, political, economic and cultural factors on human development (ACA Advocacy Competencies, 2002).
