COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course is designed to introduce students to the field of counselling in the context of multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-faith, multi-racial, multi-gendered, and multi-abled society. The course seeks to define and locate multicultural counselling studies within the broader historical, economic, social and political contexts of mental health care. Through a critical examination of "race", gender, ethnicity, sexual orientations, disability and social class students would establish an understanding of theoretical and conceptual ideas that form the basis of practice with minority clients.
