A Unique Canadian Approach to Multicultural Counselling

By M. Honore France, Maria del Carmen Rodriguez, and Geoffrey G. Hett

In a country as diverse as Canada, a multicultural counselling approach is essential for working with individuals from various ethnicities, sexualities, gender identities, abilities, and religious backgrounds. This approach provides a crucial starting point for counsellors to effectively support people from different cultural backgrounds.

Practical Approaches to Counselling in Diverse Communities

This collection brings Canadian perspectives to the field of multicultural counselling, offering practical approaches to working with Indigenous, Asian, Black Canadian, Hispanic, South Asian, and LGBTQ2+ communities, among others. The book also provides valuable advice for treating migrant and refugee clients, ensuring that counsellors are equipped to support individuals from diverse backgrounds.

The third edition of Diversity, Culture and Counselling tackles crucial issues such as systemic racism, immigration policy, climate change, and discriminatory policies, reflecting the many changes that have arisen in Canada since the publication of the second edition. A new chapter on counselling during national crises provides insight into the importance of culturally sensitive counselling during times of uncertainty.

Each chapter has been revised to reflect the current state of diversity in Canadian counselling, with contributors from a range of backgrounds. This ensures that the book remains a valuable resource for counsellors, educators, and students seeking to understand the complexities of multicultural counselling in Canada.
