West-Olatunji, Cirecie; Goodman, Rachael D.
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, v50 n2 p172-182 Fall 2011
Counselors need to learn how to effectively and respectfully enter into communities hit by disasters and create collaborative partnerships with community members. Using critical consciousness theory, the authors describe a humanistic, culturally responsive approach to disaster response counseling for marginalized individuals and communities and discuss empowering clients through culture-centered interventions and providing social justice advocacy.
