As such, we designed a cross-sectional, correlational study to examine whether training environment, advisor-advisee relationship, and online versus on-ground learning delivery could predict students’ PID. We recruited 229 students from CACREP-accredited programs to complete a web-based survey. Bivariate correlation results showed that master’s-level counseling students who reported higher levels of satisfaction in their advisor-advisee relationship and a stronger training environment reported higher levels of professional identity. Regression results further showed that the combined study predictors significantly accounted for 9% of the variance of their professional identity (PI). Only the advisor-advisee relationship and the number of courses students had taken contributed uniquely to the students’ PI. Implications on the criticality to consider ecological influences when understanding students’ PID is discussed.","PeriodicalId":37213,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Counselor Leadership and Advocacy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88003982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pandemic has further amplified social and systemic injustices, including police brutality against Black Americans, violence against Asians and Asian Americans, inhumane immigration policies, and persistent economic and health disparities (Cary et al., 2021; South et al., 2020). The physical and mental toll of these crises are expected to continue well into the future. The need for counselor leadership and advocacy has never been greater as health and education disparities persist, often grounded in long-standing social injustices. Counselors are uniquely positioned to lean into their orientation as social justice change agents (Ratts & Pedersen, 2014), seeking wellness for individuals and communities alike (Myers & Sweeney, 2008). In this special issue, Leading in Wellness toward Social Justice, readers will find a collection of articles whose authors illuminate some of the most persistent concerns in society and the counseling profession itself. Authors deeply explore Black birth health disparities, gun violence, climate change, a monolithic view of race, and the lack of support for cultural minorities in counselor education. Each offer novel approaches to show how counselors may lead the profession forward as advocates and servant leaders. In their critical review, Yehudah and Tadros identified the devastating health disparities experience by Black women and infants who face substantially higher risks for mortality than White and Latinx populations. Racial disparities in physical healthcare may prevent Black women from seeking counseling services essential to their wellness. The authors detail strategies to advocate on behalf of and with Black women seeking birthing justice given the corresponding higher risks for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and systemic barriers to treatment. Multiracial populations have unique experiences, challenges, and strengths often ignored by the counseling profession. McDonald and Chang review the multiracial identity models highlighting the complexity of individuals identifying as multiracial. Using the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC; Ratts et al., 2015) and Competencies for Counseling the Multiracial Population (CCMP; Kenney et al., 2015), authors offer counselors practical strategies to advocate for this population and become more culturally responsive. Marginalization also persists in counselor education programs. Underrepresented applicants may face narrow acceptance criteria and students often lack the needed supports to attain their goals through graduation and beyond.
