Practical Tools for Ethical Counseling with Diverse Population

SLP

Counseling within the context of communication disorders is consistently part of our practice, regardless of the setting. During this presentation, we will examine the implications and intersectionality of counseling diverse populations, including bi/multi-lingual, LGBTQIA+, low socioeconomic status, and immigrant clients and families. This course will provide a broad overview of how to counsel ethically, including limits, strategies, and resources for further learning.
