Date & Time
Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Description

Multicultural counseling competence (MCC) is critical for establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with clients from diverse cultures. Mindfulness is a powerful tool to raise self-awareness, so it is reasonable to infer that it improves the awareness component of MCC. The extant research exploring the relationships between mindfulness and MCC is reviewed, and findings from a mixed methods study examining the effect of a mindfulness-based intervention on the MCC of Master’s students in a Multicultural Counseling class are presented.
