Counseling and social justice advocacy interventions with refugees: Two case studies

Abstract

The Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCCs) illustrate the need for counselors to act as social justice advocates. The significant influx of refugees in the United States and the sociopolitical nature of their resettlement necessitate practical multicultural and social justice counseling competencies. Using two case studies, the authors apply the four levels and four competencies of the MSJCCs and provide multicultural and social justice interventions on three levels: interpersonal, community, and public policy.
