Decolonizing & decentering oppressive structures: practical strategies for social justice in school and clinical counseling

Abstract

ABSTRACT Recent calls for social justice and advocacy in counseling have stressed the need to make all school and clinical settings socially just and free from oppressive White structures. This article focuses on the necessity of liberating and decolonizing through a review of the current and historical context of oppressive structures noted in both settings. We offer critical considerations and practical strategies to dismantle and decenter White hegemony in both domains.
