Counseling Program Advisory Committees: A Structural Recommendation
Get PDFThe 2024 CACREP accreditation standards now require counseling programs to assemble a program advisory committee to solicit feedback from stakeholders. While many programs have opted to establish advisory committees despite the lack of a requirement in the past, the inclusion of this new standard challenges programs to become more intentional and structured. The history and purpose of advisory committees will be reviewed, and a proposed structure is offered as a recommendation for programs
Guided by a Global Perspective : The Global Teaching Practices of Social Work Faculty
Get PDFThe Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) states that the social work profession is guided by a global perspective and the enhancement of life for all people, both locally and globally. Per the CSWE Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (2022 EPAS), the social work curriculum of an integrated program includes global content that is specifically related to racism, oppression, and policy. However, literature suggests that the incorporation of global content into social work education has been slow, sparse, and siloed. The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which social work faculty have integrated global content from the 2022 EPAS into their teaching practices and identify the factors contributing to this incorporation. A 25-item quantitative cross-sectional survey was distributed to full- and part-time faculty at social work programs across the United States and its territories. Diffusion of innovations theory, which conceptualizes the adoption of innovations among individuals and organizations, provided the theoretical underpinnings for the study. Ultimately, the findings from 546 responses indicate that faculty incorporate policy, oppression and racism, and global positionality content from the 2022 EPAS into their teaching. Global content is predominately incorporated as a tool to prepare U.S. social work students to engage in culturally competent practice with people from outside the U.S. Faculty members’ international experience, international connections, global competence, and positive attitudes toward global content were the major contributing factors to their incorporation of global content. Nonetheless, faculty identified considerable barriers to incorporating global content into their teaching, including personal lack of knowledge; a dominant focus on micro, specifically clinical, and local practice in social work education; lack of student comprehension; the vastness and complexity of global content; and the current political climate

Reverberations of 2020: The Role of the U.S. Racial Reckoning on Multicultural Engagement in Counseling
No full textThe racial reckoning of 2020 and 2021 had profound effects on people. This study uses a retrospective design to examine differences in critical consciousness prior to 2020 and contemporarily among counseling students and professionals and whether critical consciousness predicts multicultural competence. Participants reported their current level of multicultural competence, and pre-2020 (retrospective) and current (contemporary) levels of critical reflection, critical motivation, critical action, and race-based critical consciousness. Participants reported higher levels on the contemporary critical consciousness measures than their retrospective assessments, suggesting that the high-impact events of 2020 raised their critical consciousness. There was no relationship between the critical consciousness measures and multicultural competence. These findings underscore the importance of sociopolitical events on clinically relevant outcomes among helping professionals
