“…The facilitators also embraced in their practice the guidelines associated with multicultural and social justice competence principles such as their role as social change agents; one central element in creating an environment where social change can occur is ensuring that diverse communication needs among participants were met and respected [17]. Un Abrazo, as a cancer education program, served to bring accessible information, otherwise not readily available to low-income Hispanic populations [18].…”

Un Abrazo Para La Familia: An Evidenced-Based Rehabilitation Approach in Providing Cancer Education to Low-SES Hispanic Co-Survivors

et al. 2013

We discuss Un Abrazo Para La Familia as an effective, rehabilitation-informed evidence-based model of education, information-sharing, and skill-teaching for use with low-income Hispanic co-survivors of cancer. Over two years, 120 co-survivors participated in the intervention. The majority of participants (96%) were women and all but one reported being Hispanic. Both in Years 1 and 2, we followed the same pre- and post-intervention evaluation design. Based on pre- and post-intervention assessments of cancer-related knowledge and self-efficacy, the percentage of questions answered correctly about cancer significantly increased for co-survivors. Self-efficacy significantly increased as well. Using item analysis, we explored skill teaching as a mechanism for the effective delivery of Un Abrazo and recommend the use of promotoras in providing the intervention. Of the 12 cancer knowledge items resulting in statistically significant increases of cancer knowledge, 5 were taught via interactive skill-teaching. Given the projected rise in the incidence of cancer in Hispanic populations, coupled with the fact that people from low-income backgrounds face unique challenges in cancer prevention and management, implications of the Un Abrazo model for future research and policy regarding cancer and families are considered.

“…Since their emergence and recognition, multicultural perspectives have become embedded into many aspects of the counseling profession (Erickson Cornish, Schreier, Nadkarni, Henderson Metzger, & Rodolfa, ; Hays & Iwamasa, ; Ponterotto, Casas, Suzuki, & Alexander, ). The MCC have influenced the shaping of the ACA Code of Ethics (American Counseling Association [ACA], ) as well as other ethical codes within ACA divisions, such as those of the Association for Specialists in Group Work (Singh, Merchant, Skudrzyk, & Ingene, ) and Counselors for Social Justice (Ibrahim, Dinsmore, Estrada, & D'Andrea, ). In addition, the MCC may arguably be viewed as the catalyst to encourage the development of additional competencies for specific populations (e.g., the Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues in Counseling [ALGBTIC] Competencies for Counseling With Transgender Clients [Burnes et al, ]; the ALGBTIC Competencies for Counseling With Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Ally Individuals [Harper et al, ]).…”

In 2014, the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD) appointed a committee to revise the Multicultural Counseling Competencies developed by Sue, Arredondo, and McDavis in and operationalized by Arredondo et al. in . This article reflects the updated competencies, titled the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC; Ratts, Singh, Nassar‐McMillan, Butler, & McCullough, ), which were endorsed by AMCD on June 29, 2015, and by the American Counseling Association on July 20, 2015. A conceptual framework of the MSJCC visually depicts the relationships among the competencies' key constructs: multicultural and social justice praxis, quadrants, domains, and competencies. Implications are discussed. En 2014, la Asociación para la Consejería y el Desarrollo Multicultural (AMCD, en sus siglas en inglés) formó un comité para revisar las Competencias en Consejería Multicultural desarrolladas por Sue, Arredondo y McDavis en 1992 y operacionalizadas por Arredondo et al. en 1996. Este artículo refleja las competencias actualizadas, denominadas Competencias en Consejería Multicultural y de Justicia Social (MSJCC, en sus siglas en inglés; Ratts, Singh, Nassar‐McMillan, Butler, & McCullough, 2015a), que fueron avaladas por la AMCD el 29 de junio de 2015 y por la Asociación Americana de Consejería el 20 de julio de 2015. Un marco conceptual de las MSJCC muestra visualmente las relaciones entre los constructos principales de las competencias: la praxis multicultural y en justicia social, los cuadrantes, dominios y competencias. Se discuten las implicaciones.

“…As I was engaging in this leadership and implementing these competencies, I had inspiring and powerful mentors (Patricia Arredondo, Barry Chung, Judy Daniels, Judy Lewis, Don C. Locke, Derald Wing Sue, Rebecca Toporek, and Cirecie West‐Olatunji). I went on to work on teams developing the Association for Specialists in Group Work’s (ASGW) Multicultural and Social Justice Competence Principles for Group Workers (Singh, Merchant, Skuryzk, & Ingene, 2012); the ALGBTIC Competencies for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Ally Individuals (Harper et al, 2013); and the ACA Competencies for Counseling the Multiracial Population (Kenney et al, 2015). Additionally, I was asked to serve in the AMCD MCC Revisions Committee, where I was able to explore how the MSJCC could position the multicultural and social justice competency movement for another giant leap forward with the integration of action and ecological advocacy counseling layers.…”

This article illustrates counselors’ embodiment, over time, of the multicultural and social justice counseling competency movement leading to the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (Ratts, Singh, Nassar‐McMillan, Butler, & McCullough, 2015). The authors discuss the multicultural and social justice counseling competency movement in the context of relationships as appropriate to the counseling field. Aligned with contemporary research perspectives, the authors focus on the lived experiences of 2 pioneering social justice and multicultural competency advocates, Drs. Patricia Arredondo and Derald Wing Sue. The authors integrate scholarship with these historical and personal perspectives, as well as their own, to demonstrate the ways in which people and movements drive counseling leadership and advocacy.
