This study investigated 106 counseling professionals' experiences with identifying and treating race-based trauma and the relationship between training and treatment. Competency was assessed with the Race-Based Trauma Survey for Counselors. Although most participants reported working with clients who had symptoms associated with race-based trauma, many had not received training in identifying and treating race-based trauma among individuals of color. This finding highlights the disparities between health care and the provision of related services. Recommendations for counseling professionals and researchers are included.Keywords: race-based trauma, racism, discrimination, competency Este estudio investigó las experiencias de 106 profesionales en consejería con la identificación y el tratamiento de traumas basados en la raza, así como la relación entre la capacitación y el tratamiento.

Over half of current teachers do not feel prepared to hold effective parent-teacher conferences. One way to prepare teacher candidates for difficult conversations is through live and virtual environment simulations. This study explores the use of virtual simulations in enhancing active listening skills among four undergraduate teacher candidates at a large rural southeastern university. Results indicated that participants felt they were more capable of managing an upset parent and more confident in employing active listening skills as a result of the live simulations.
