The SWS framework guided this study and highlighted unique factors that contributed to the help-seeking behaviors of Black women. The following three questions directed this investigation: Do Black women associate with the SWS?; What is the essence of the lived experience for Black women with MS?; and What challenges do Black women with MS experience regarding maintaining role obligations of SWS and the development of a disability identity? Implications of these findings suggest that SWS, typically characterized as having negative psychological ramifications, can serve as a source of empowerment with Black women facing a life-changing disability. Through this manuscript, we advocate for further research and publications that highlight the importance of mental health of Black women with MS, provide resources for mental health professionals, and offer strategies for counselors and counselor educators to support Black women with MS in navigating the cultural demands of SWS.</p>","PeriodicalId":51645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development","volume":"53 3","pages":"119-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jmcd.12323","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144672734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by disability critical race theory (DisCrit), this report explored the prevalence of disability among Black women who were self-employed in the United States and explored the relationship between disability status and income. We analyzed the responses of 91 Black women with disability found in the Household Pulse Survey data collected between August 20 and September 16, 2024. For the epidemiological descriptive statistics, we computed weighted precents, which allows us to represent the estimated national prevalence of demographic characteristics for Black adult women in the United States who were self-employed at the time the data were collected. The ordinal logistic regression model assessed income differences by disability status. Findings indicated that 43.9% of self-employed Black women had at least one disability, 66.9% experienced a mental health condition, 27% had visual impairments, 11.8% had mobility, and 11.3% had auditory disabilities. The regression analysis indicated there was no statistically significant relationship between income and disability status except for increased income being associated with the presence of “worry.” Furthermore, this report provides preliminary insight into Black women with disabilities engaging in self-employment.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51645,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development","volume":"53 3","pages":"169-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144672720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
