From Aspiration to Action: DEI in Counseling Leadership
What is a Roundtable Session?
Our roundtable sessions offer a chance to dive into a topic with an expert presenter, or team of presenters. They provide an opportunity to dig deeply into a particular topic during a 90 to 120-minute presentation.
Description
Despite decades of aspirational attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion, many professional counseling organizations continue to struggle to move beyond performative allyship. The presenter will draw from leadership successes and failures to highlight concrete strategies for facilitating meaningful change in a variety of counseling settings. Participants will explore implications for action relevant to both privileged and minoritized counseling leaders.
Learning Objectives
Identify characteristics of performative allyship within professional counseling organizations
Identify concrete opportunities for policy and practice changes to elevate and integrate DEI in professional counseling organizations
