The Impact

This article is based on the presentation on implementing multicultural social justice leadership strategies in counselor education programs. The George Mason University’s Counseling and Development Program was used as an example to illustrate how to successfully infuse multicultural social justice values into an entire graduate counselor training program. The article is written from two perspectives: 1) faculty’s discussion on the development and establishment of a multicultural social justice counseling program, and 2) current and past students’ viewpoints of the impact of the multicultural social justice training program on their personal and professional lives. Recommendations are also suggested to assist counseling and psychology programs on the implementation of multicultural social justice leadership strategies.

The Impact

Leadership development programs are common in sports, but seldom evaluated; hence, we have limited knowledge about what the participants actually learn and the impact these programs have on sports clubs’ daily operations. The purpose of the current study was to integrate a transfer of training model with self-determination theory to understand predictors of learning and training transfer, following a leadership development program among organizational leaders in Swedish sports clubs. Bayesian multilevel path analysis showed that autonomous motivation and an autonomy-supportive implementation of the program positively predicted near transfer (i.e., immediately after the training program) and that perceiving an autonomy-supportive climate in the sports club positively predicted far transfer (i.e., 1 year after the training program). This study extends previous research by integrating a transfer of training model with self-determination theory and identified important motivational factors that predict near and far training transfer.

Task Oriented

Edwards Personal Preference Schedule scores of 16 female alcoholics ( Mage, = 42 yr., Meduc. = 12 yr., MIQ = 116) accepted into a 9-mo. full-time counselor-training program were compared with those of 15 rejected applicants ( Mage = 39 yr., Meduc. = 13 yr., and MIQ = 114). Scores did not discriminate between the groups; however, after 9 mo. of training, subjects scored significantly higher on the Achievement and Succorance subtests and significantly lower on Deference, Abasement, and Endurance. It was assumed, therefore, that a 9-mo. training program with heavy emphasis on personal confrontation and self-awareness did help the female alcoholic counselors to become more task-oriented and more accepting of sympathy from others. Perhaps counselor-training has a different effect on female alcoholics' personality than on the male alcoholic counselors' personality.

Sociopolitical Climate

This article explores multicultural social justice leadership strategies in advocating with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) individuals. In the current sociopolitical climate, there is a great need for counselors and counselor educators to become more involved in LGBTQQ advocacy. In response to this need, the authors developed a collaborative content session that was presented at the Multicultural Social Justice Leadership Development Academy at the 2010 American Counseling Association Conference. The session was geared towards increasing the knowledge, awareness, and skills of multicultural social justice leaders who are advocating with LGBTQQ individuals and communities. In this article, the content of the session and the personal narratives of the presenters are reviewed, along with the recommendations and considerations that were discussed. Additionally, audience participation in the session is discussed along with the action strategies that were collaboratively developed as a part of the session.

Counselor Training Program

Hazelden Foundation in Center City, Minnesota has a year-long chemical dependency counselor training program which graduates twenty to twenty-five counselors each year. This study introduces the Minnesota Model of chemical dependency treatment, describes the Hazelden Counselor Training Program, and summarizes trainee characteristics and survey follow-up findings of 100 former trainees. The Minnesota Model is a multidisciplinary treatment approach that uses Alcoholics Anonymous principles as primary treatment adjuncts. Hazelden's Counselor Training Program is a year-long nondegreed work-study experience that prepares counselors to work at an entry level in alcohol and drug treatment settings using the Minnesota Model. It is accredited by the Institute for Chemical Dependency Professionals of Minnesota, Inc. Most graduates had experienced alcoholism directly or indirectly prior to entering training, were satisfied with their training, and were more likely to be satisfied with their work as counselors if they were certified or had a professional commitment to the field.

Counselor Training Program

The purpose of this study was to conduct a ten year follow.up of graduates of the University of Georgia Rehabilitation Counselor Training Program focusing on initial and current employment status. A survey questionnaire was sent to ali graduates (n=332) and a 83% return was received. The survey indicated that 95% of the graduates were initially employed by state DVR agencies or closely related agencies. There was some attrition of graduates from the state DVR agencies for two primary reasons: (a) better salaries and (b) greater advancement opportunities. A substantial difference iIi mean salaries exists between those graduates who remained with state DVR agencies and those who were initially employed by DVR agencies and later became employed by closely related agencies. All graduates had mean salaries greater than the national average. The survey clearly indicates, based on one graduate training program results, that RCTP are preparing professional trained personnel for the rehabilitation profession.
