Counselling Gender and Diversity

Students enhance their capacity in working with members of non-dominant populations. Students facilitate development of self-awareness, theoretical knowledge, and skill acquisition. Assignments entail a strong component of personal reflection and self assessment. Students develop knowledge and skills necessary to inform work with multicultural and diverse individuals and groups identified by age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Students critically examine the concept of diversity, stigmatized social identities, and the impact on services and supports.
