– Which characteristics most closely reflect your culture,
class, and language? (African American)

– Consider the types of mental health concerns you may be
likely to encounter in counseling a Native American client, couple, family, or
group (for example, the impact of educational disparities on career
development). Address the following:

– How would your approach reflect your understanding of your
own characteristics and those of your client or clients?

– How would the impact of historical and current oppression
be important to your work?

– Discuss the implications of the client’s characteristics
and concerns on your counseling and advocacy strategies in terms of problem
assessment, goal setting, and interventions that take into account individual,
couple, family, and tribal considerations
