The run takes place on mostly shaded sidewalk with some dappled sunlight. Occasionally, I will have my iPhone with me for music and tracking purposes but sometimes I don’t bring it. There are rarely other runners when I run. The run there and back is a time of reflection to gain focus and clarity about the coming events. There is a Theodore Roosevelt Trail…

As in the case of Jason, having an awareness of the client’s identities and multicultural background is key in helping Shakira build her strengths and helping me (the counselor) establish an understanding of the unique issues that concern her. To begin with, multicultural competence training can be beneficial to both the client and counselor. As a counselor, it will enable me to build rapport, respect, knowledge and awareness of my client’s cultural background. And like wise, it will help…
