PSYC 341 Multicultural Counseling

This course addresses the psychological, socio-political, historical, and economic influences on various aspects of social identity, including but not limited to, gender, ethnicity, religion, class, race, immigrant status, disability, and sexual orientation. Students then examine how social identity influences mental and physical health, health literacy, health beliefs, and perceptions of health care providers. Students examine a variety of behavioral health care provider roles, including advocating for and encouraging culturally appropriate care; facilitating client engagement to optimize effectiveness and client satisfaction; and heightening awareness and sensitivity to the relevance of individual and cultural diversity among integrative team members.
