Lopez, Miguel Angel
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, California State University, Sacramento
This qualitative study utilizes Latina/Latino Critical Race Theory as a lens to present the perceptions of Latina/Latino/Latinx school counselors who were in public high schools for at least two years with caseloads of at least 350 students. Counselor Burnout has been a topic researched extensively but mainly through studies that focus on the experiences of counselors who identify as Female and White. The study identified, through interviews, barriers, and obstacles such as racial microaggressions, a lack of resources, a lack of support from administrators, high caseloads, and extra duties that led to burnout and dissatisfaction among the participants. The participants were also able to identify systems of support, motivators, and positive coping mechanism that provided a positive outlook as school counselors.
