“…We found increased self‐awareness and comprehension of existentialism through creative self‐expression, primarily journaling. While journal entries provided space for ongoing self‐reflection and were beneficial in examining growth at the end of our program (Villarreal‐Davis et al., 2020), journaling also allowed for the expression of distress and practice utilizing the existential framework. Journaling after sessions encouraged intentional reflection, where we could practice identifying existential themes, drawing connections, and contemplating paths of therapeutic inquiry without the pressures of supervision and peer feedback.…”

“…The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs requires the incorporation of self‐evaluation and personal reflection in preparing CIT to enter the profession (CACREP, 2016). Through reflective activities such as journaling and expressive arts, students can develop awareness of their values, the evolving counseling relationship, and broader sociocultural and developmental issues (Owens & Neale‐McFall, 2014; Robinson et al., 2019; Villarreal‐Davis et al., 2020). Creative methods for self‐reflection can also serve as a tool for evaluating overall growth when utilized at the end of a training program (Villarreal‐Davis et al., 2020).…”

“…One example of this approach is the use of photovoice not just in working with diverse client populations but also in clinical supervision. (Becker, Reiser, Lambert & Covello, 2014;Villarreal-Davis, Sartor & McLean, 2020;Zeglin, Niemela, Rosenblatt & Hernandez-Garcia, 2019).…”

The proven effective teaching of social justice advocacy competencies while recognized as important by the counseling profession and counselor education programs, remains somewhat nascent in its implementation. Evidence suggests that experiential and constructivist approaches to the teaching of multicultural and social justice counseling competencies represent a worthwhile pedagogical foundation and set of tools in furthering multicultural and social justice counseling competencies in counseling students. The author relates, in detail, the implementation of an experiential, client/community-based, social justice and mental health advocacy project, the Advocacy and Creativity in Community (ACC) Project as a final class assignment in the last term prior to graduation within a CACREP-accredited clinical mental health counseling program in the Northwest region of the United States. Descriptions of student projects, the multitude of benefits for clients/participants and students as elicited from student reflections, and the author’s reflection after three years of implementing this project are presented. This project exemplifies the benefits within the literature of taking an experiential and constructivist approach to social justice advocacy training in counselor education programs.

“…However, with no face-to-face classes, providing counseling service to students became challenging with no data yet stating that counseling can be effective through online modality is effective for counseling. Online counseling programs are often viewed as less effective due to the lack of face-to-face interaction (Villarreal-Davis, Sartor, & McLean, 2020). Knowing that more mental health concerns may emerge since the students are just at home and have less physical interaction with classmates and friends, the guidance counselors were groping in the dark on how to ensure that they are mentally, emotionally, and psychologically healthy.…”

<p>With no face-to-face classes until a vaccine is available, schools have to adjust and learning must continue in different modalities. In the Philippines, online learning delivery is the primary mode of learning with many private schools adapting it. Learning continuity plan was created and the Department of Education set the most essential learning competencies for school year 2020-2021. Since education is a holistic approach, the mental and emotional well-being of the students must also be given significant attention. Counseling, a strong support in the welfare of the students, is needed to address the different concerns of the students. However, guidance counselors see a lot of challenges in providing counseling to students in an online environment. They have doubts in being truly present with the students. Potential mental and emotional health issues have been identified and preparations were made that will make the guidance and counseling services more felt and reliable despite being in an online modality. This study aims to find out the challenges that the guidance counselors encountered in providing counseling service to students. It also aims to identify the issues and concerns experienced by the students in online learning and the interventions provided by the guidance counselors in handling them. It found out that mental health issues, feeling of isolation, voluminous requirements and unstable internet connection were the concerns of the students. In addressing them, they provided individual and group counseling, communicated with the parents, collaborated more closely with the class advisers, teachers, and academic heads, strengthened the homeroom and guidance period, and held mental health activities. From the experiences, their realizations and new gained insights will be used as bases in enhancing the guidance and counseling program for school year 2021-2022.</p>
