“…Now more than ever, school counselors must integrate and implement culturally sustaining and antiracist ideals into their work—to help students see the pebble, recognize and overcome the impact, and ultimately remove the pebbles from our students’ lives through antiracist school counseling. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) noted that school counselors have a “unique opportunity” to be part of the solution to eliminate bias and racism in schools (ASCA, 2020, p. 1); similarly, scholars have highlighted new opportunities for school counselor leadership and advocacy in antiracist work (Leibowitz-Nelson et al, 2020; Mason et al, 2021; Moss & Singh, 2015; Shell, 2021).…”

Due to ongoing inequities, discrimination, and injustice, the antiracist movement has gained momentum in all parts of society, including education and school counseling. A foundational aspect of antiracism is self-reflection to increase awareness, identify biases, and build cultural proficiency. Multitiered systems of support (MTSS) is an evidence-based framework widely used throughout K–12 education in the United States to assist with every student’s school-related success. In this article, we propose an antiracist approach to the MTSS framework, in which reflection serves as the foundation. We provide practical activities and reflections to facilitate growth and promote antiracism within MTSS.

“…Similarly, Overman‐Goldsmith (2019) described the ways in which end‐of‐life counseling interventions must be systemic, providing concrete strategies for how specific layers should be engaged on clients’ behalf. In this special issue, Leibowitz, Nassar, and Baker (2020) provide a promising application of the institutional layer with comprehensive descriptions of each of the seven institutional competencies and concrete strategies and recommendations for how they should be applied within a school environment with the involvement of a variety of stakeholders. Once again, we provide here the framing statements for the MSJCC Counseling and Advocacy Interventions competencies within the various ecological layers to illustrate their intent and spirit.…”

The authors describe the ways in which the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC; Ratts, Singh, Nassar‐McMillan, Butler, & McCullough, 2015) can be viewed from a human rights framework and as the latest iteration in the long history of the multicultural and social justice counseling competency movement. MSJCC implementation and integration are explored, and recommendations for innovating the MSJCC are described.

“…For example, some participants noted not only discussing their action plan with their school counselor but also with school admin and family members of students. This is aligned with multicultural school counseling research and shows growth in their understanding, action, and their willingness to push real and perceived barriers (Leibowitz‐Nelson et al., 2020). Although their advocacy intentions were purposeful, the participants were met with barriers at times, which is reflected in the subtheme barriers.…”

This manuscript describes an empirically designed internship course that utilized the Ecological Social Justice School Counseling theory to teach internship students how to engage in antiracist practice to address social determinants of health in schools. The research reports on the eight school counseling internship students' experiences, through five themes and 12 subthemes, highlighting the ways they increased awareness of SDOH, antiracist practice, and related constructs at their schools and with students including their action toward addressing SDOH, advocacy, barriers, and growth. Implications for counselor educators and site supervisors conclude. K E Y W O R D Santiracism, ecological social justice school counseling, school counseling internship, social determinants of health Antiracism is rooted in action and is a process of actively identifying and opposing racism in all forms. Negatively influenced by systemic racism, the social determinants of health (SDOH) adversely impact vulnerable and underserved students and families (SDOH;Hassen et al., 2021). SDOH are conditions in the environments in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age that affect health, wellbeing, and quality of life outcomes and risks. They are typically divided into the five domains of economic stability, education, social and community context, health and health care, and neighborhood and built environment (Healthy People 2030, n.d.). The SDOH are particularly influential for children including physical and mental health outcomes, educational opportunity gaps, and adverse health outcomes that have a lasting impact into adulthood (Healthy People 2030, n.d.).This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
