White Dissonance

In this first episode of White Dissonance, we’ll be discussing the importance of continuing our education as White counselors and counselor educators. I’ll be speaking with my friends and colleagues about the responsibility of fighting racism and oppression, the importance of education AND where we seek it out, and I'll share some resources for helping continue to learn more about White racial identity and cultural competence.

White Dissonance is designed to help counselors-in-training, beginning and seasoned clinicians, and counselor educators continually progress toward understanding their own development and how to best serve an increasingly diverse society. Along the way, we’ll hear the voices and perspectives of my friends and colleagues who are multicultural and social justice experts in counseling and counselor education to help inform progress. If you are interested in developing in your own understanding of yourself as a White individual and how to better serve a diverse population of people, this is the place for you.
