Program Description

Racism is still experienced by clients and counselors of color. The forms that racism takes in U.S. society today are different from a generation ago when segregation, open harassment, and discrimination were the norm – or before that, when overt violence and even lynching were common. Today, racism has gone underground in ways that make it harder to detect in society, partly because it is so integrated into our culture.

Educational Goals

This one hour presentation will introduce the concepts of modern racism and everyday racism to counselors, describing their manifestations in modern culture and in the counseling room, and highlight options for antiracist actions that can be deployed to counter them in our relationships with our peers, students, and clients.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Describe modern racism and everyday racism with at least 2 examples.
• Demonstrate at least 2 antiracist actions that can be deployed when modern racism occurs in a counseling context.
• Name at least 3 white racial affects and explain how they can inadvertently and unintentionally be part of the manifestation of modern racism for white counselors.

Equity Focus

This presentation is focused on direct discussion and further understanding of power and privilege in a racist society.
