This class provides an introduction to aid the counselor in working with culturally diverse individuals, explores barriers to treatment and recovery, and presents recommended treatment approaches for special populations. Diversity factors discussed include racial and ethnic diversity, gender, language, folk beliefs, socioeconomic status, spirituality versus religiosity, sexual orientation, drugs of choice, trauma, and health-related issues. This class will provide an opportunity for aspiring counselors to explore their own biases and outlooks.
