ABSTRACT Recent calls for social justice and advocacy in counseling have stressed the need to make all school and clinical settings socially just and free from oppressive White structures. This article focuses on the necessity of liberating and decolonizing through a review of the current and historical context of oppressive structures noted in both settings. We offer critical considerations and practical strategies to dismantle and decenter White hegemony in both domains.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted how counselors-in-training (CITs) provided services to clients. The present cross-sectional causal-comparative study (N = 131) examined the differences between CIT (a) self-efficacy, (b) multicultural competence, and (c) perceived wellness pre- and during the pandemic. Independent samples t-tests and one-way between-groups multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to explore group differences. Our findings suggest that CITs did not perceive significant negative impacts in these areas as a result of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT This manuscript reports qualitative case study research with 10 school-counselors-in-training (SCITs). Using a single-case approach, researchers explored SCITs’ professional identity development through the implementation of an andragogical intervention using two simulated counseling encounters as part of a school counseling course. The results of this study produced an understanding of 10 SCITs’ evolving professional identity, counseling skills, and actions. Implications for school counselor training, counselor educators’ andragogy, research, and future simulations are discussed.

ABSTRACT Commitment to a professional identity in the counseling profession includes enhancing the research and scholarly development of the next generation of counselor educators and supervisors. We investigated the rate of publication of CES doctoral dissertations in peer-reviewed journals sponsored by professional counseling organizations. Of the 721 dissertations completed in 52 CACREP-accredited programs from 2007–2011, 26.4% of dissertations were published up to 7 years later. We describe these publications, address ethical considerations, and discuss implications for professional identity in doctoral research.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examined professional counselor identity through the relationship between wellness and forgiveness in counselors in training (N=72). Participants perceived themselves as experiencing high levels of wellness on the 5F-Wel. The Creative Self and Essential Self predicted HFS-Situations, and the Creative Self accounted for HFS-Others and HFS Total. Implications for counselor education are discussed.

ABSTRACT Asian international college students (AICS) deserve advocacy given their individual, organizational, and societal level of barriers. Those barriers have detrimental impacts on wellbeing of AICS. However, seldom discussed are the strategies to advocate for AICS mental health. The authors reviewed the multiple layers of barriers preventing access to mental health services among AICS – namely, individual, community/school, and public arena. Additionally, we provided AICS advocacy strategies based on ACA Advocacy Competency to college counselors.

ABSTRACT Decades of advocacy have established Counseling as a valuable profession through Counseling accreditation, credentialing, licensure, and scholarship that reflect Counseling values, ethics, philosophical orientation, skills, and roles. In 2022, Counselors became recognized Medicare providers and anticipated inter-state practice through the Counseling Compact. We encourage Professional Counselors to foresee unintended consequences of new opportunities, protect Professional Counselor Identity and transprofessional collaborations, and remain vigilant to not lose the hard-earned privilege to uniquely serve as Professional Counselors.

As Editor and Associate Editor, we are pleased to recognize and celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Journal of Counselor Leadership and Advocacy (JCLA), a publication of Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society. Since 2014, JCLA has published 125 articles on a range of counseling topics, creating new knowledge and perspectives to further professional and client advocacy, as well as leadership practices among professional counselors. With over 25,000 annual views worldwide, a ranking in the top half of all education journals, a 1.6 (2021) CiteScore, and an average first decision turnaround of 51 days, the journal is well-established among comparable counseling journals which have served the profession for decades. Such accomplishments do not occur in a vacuum, so it is important that we recognize the CSI leadership who have ushered this journal from its infancy. Dr Casey Barrio Minton and Dr Jane Myers, serving President and Executive Director, respectively, first proposed the journal to the CSI Executive Council in 2011. With their guidance and support, CSI contracted with Taylor & Francis to publish the journal, and Dr Barrio Minton was named founding editor. Dr Melissa Luke was subsequently named Associate Editor and would follow Dr Barrio Minton as the second Editor-inChief. Numerous editorial board members, ad hoc reviewers, and authors have contributed their time and talents to JCLA, supplying and reviewing 375 manuscripts to date. We are indebted to them for their service to JCLA and to strengthening the leadership and advocacy scholarship in counseling. Throughout these years since inception, JCLA has focused on issues critical to professional counselors and the counseling profession. A review of the Chi Sigma Iota (n.d. Outstanding Article of the Year Award winners reveal such topics as professional identity, licensure, and accreditation (Lawson, 2016; Woo & Henfield, 2015); professional identity and social justice engagement (Um & Wood, 2022), leadership and advocacy among site supervisors (Storlie et al., 2019); school counselor multicultural and social justice practices (Leibowitz-Nelson et al., 2020); dynamic counselor leadership (McKibben et al., 2017); mentoring future counselor educators (Purgason et al., 2018); and counselor leadership and burnout (Harrichand et al., 2021). Each of these articles address professional concerns and provide guidance for counselors to better serve their clients and students, while advancing the profession. In this current issue, we invited Dr Holly Hartwig Moorhead, CSI Chief Executive Officer, Dr Kelly Duncan, Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) Executive Director, and Dr Sylvia Fernandez, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) to share their perspectives on professional counselor identity and the counseling profession, particularly given the recent c
作为主编和副主编,我们很高兴地庆祝《咨询师领导与倡导杂志》(JCLA)创刊10周年,该杂志是Chi Sigma Iota (CSI),咨询学术与专业荣誉学会的出版物。自2014年以来,JCLA已就一系列咨询主题发表了125篇文章,为进一步的专业和客户倡导以及专业咨询师的领导实践创造了新的知识和视角。全球年阅读量超过25,000次,在所有教育期刊中排名前半,CiteScore的1.6(2021),平均首次决策周转时间为51天,该期刊在同类咨询期刊中已经建立了数十年的专业服务。这样的成就不会在真空中发生,所以重要的是我们要认识到CSI的领导,他们带领这本杂志从婴儿期开始。分别担任主席和执行主任的Casey Barrio Minton博士和Jane Myers博士于2011年首次向CSI执行理事会提议创办该期刊。在他们的指导和支持下,CSI与Taylor & Francis签约出版该杂志,Barrio Minton博士被任命为创始编辑。梅丽莎·卢克博士随后被任命为副主编,并将接替巴里奥·明顿博士担任第二任主编。许多编辑委员会成员、特别审稿人和作者为JCLA贡献了他们的时间和才能,迄今为止提供和审查了375份手稿。我们感谢他们对JCLA的服务,并加强了咨询方面的领导和倡导奖学金。自成立以来的这些年里,JCLA一直专注于专业咨询师和咨询行业的关键问题。对Chi Sigma Iota年度杰出文章奖获奖者的回顾揭示了诸如专业身份,执照和认证等主题(Lawson, 2016;Woo & Henfield, 2015);职业认同和社会正义参与(Um & Wood, 2022),现场主管的领导和倡导(Storlie et al., 2019);学校辅导员多元文化与社会正义实践(Leibowitz-Nelson et al., 2020);动态辅导员领导(McKibben et al., 2017);指导未来的咨询师教育者(Purgason等人,2018);辅导员领导力和职业倦怠(Harrichand et al., 2021)。这些文章中的每一篇都涉及专业问题,并为辅导员提供指导,以更好地服务他们的客户和学生,同时促进职业发展。在本期节目中,我们邀请到了CSI首席执行官Holly Hartwig Moorhead博士、咨询师教育与监督协会(ACES)执行董事Kelly Duncan博士和咨询及相关教育项目认证委员会(CACREP)主席兼首席执行官Sylvia Fernandez博士,分享了他们对专业咨询师身份和咨询职业的看法。特别是考虑到最近与咨询契约有关的执照法的变化。我们理解这是一个关键的点,在咨询职业,辅导员可能会受益于法律的透彻理解和对辅导员和整个行业的影响。本期的其他文章涉及与种族和种族主义有关的领导和指导,美国以外出生的人的职业认同发展,亚洲国际学生的倡导,以及对宽恕和健康的看法。我们希望你在考虑自己的领导和倡导行动,以满足客户和学生的这些需求,并确保在咨询师的身份和实践中拥有强大的职业基础时,能发现所有这些文章都是有益的和鼓舞人心的。《辅导员领导与倡导杂志》2023年第10卷第1期。1,1 - 2 https://doi.org/10.1080/2326716X.2023.2179757
