Social Justice + Human Rights
Interest Network Resources

The purpose of the Social Justice + Human Rights Interest Network is to build community and facilitate action related to current social justice and human rights issues that impact the mental health and wellness of individuals and communities. This work is based on the premise that counselors and counselor educators are committed to social justice and advocacy. In the spirit of this work guided by the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (Ratts et al., 2016), we are providing resources to inform our attitudes and beliefs, knowledge, skills, and action related to addressing and eliminating social injustice and racism.
