Numerous current events have brought the United States to its knees. From COVID-19 to racial unrest, the burden of unpreparedness has challenged our ability to stand these tests of time. Many systems have been exposed including, health care, education, race relations, and the virtues of government. Although the long-term effects of these issues are unknown at this time, there is much that counselors can do to promote systemic recovery. This special issue contains contributions that provide suggestions for healing and recovery of our current society and the impact on children, families, schools, and communities. We hope the articles found in this issue will inspire counselors and scholars to continue to do the work required to address these important systemic challenges.</p><p>We want to acknowledge the researchers and authors of the individual articles contained within who shine a light on systemic issues and recovery, the work has only just begun. Within this issue are three conceptual pieces and two research studies. Conner provides an overview of systemic oppression in education settings and proposed child-centered interventions that may aid in disrupting systemic oppression within the education system for black children. A case study provides a concrete example and highlights the necessity for school counselors to understand racism, discrimination, the effects of marginalization on Black children, and to advocate and disrupt systemic oppression. The child-centered interventions contained within this article may be helpful for both school based and clinical counselors. Luke addresses the added stress of the pandemic and presents eight principles for humanistic responsiveness for working with children and adolescents. Solomon and colleagues address the battle fatigue experienced by teachers of color due to racism in the workplace. The authors provide coping strategies and mindfulness interventions to increase self-compassion and reduce emotional fatigue for teachers of color.</p><p>Just as the positive relationship between self-care and compassion satisfaction is intuitive, so is the negative relationship between self-care and burnout, and self-care and secondary traumatic stress. However, Velez-Cruz and Holstun provide empirical evidence that these intuitive relationships are correct. Not only are the relationships statistically significant, but the medium and large effect sizes of the correlational analyses make these results noteworthy for the role of physical and emotional self-care in relationship with compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Because of the general humanistic aspects of these elements in connection with one's work (self-care, compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress), it is likely possible to generalize","PeriodicalId":45214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanistic Counseling","volume":"61 2","pages":"76-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/johc.12179","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47084635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
