Abstract

The impact of racism and systemic oppression on the African American/Black community has been well documented. This population experiences health disparities at disproportionately high rates compared to White counterparts, yet interventions and services overwhelmingly reflect Eurocentric models of treatment. An antiracist approach to care must include culturally responsive models of treatment, yet these models are often excluded from counseling curriculum or not given the attention needed to train competent and culturally responsive counselors. Counseling programs must include the promotion, development, and instruction of Afrocentric models of care to meet the needs of the Black community.
