"FROM ALLY TO ACCOMPLICE: 
A COUNSELING PERSPECTIVE" WEBINAR

Wednesday, August 26, 2020

12:00 p.m. until 1:30 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time (EST)

1.5 CE Hours Approved [Florida Board and NBCC]


Program Description:

Privileged individuals who support disenfranchised individuals have been referred to as “allies.” At this time, the range of what comprises ally-ship, as well as who can designate an individual as an ally, has become somewhat muddled. Individuals who express dissatisfaction with the status quo may consider themselves allies, while others may invest significant sums of money, or risk life and limb to effectuate needed progress. This panel proposes that counselors-in-training, counselors, and counselor educators and supervisors adopt terminology that recognizes the greater level of commitment by privileged individuals who take direct action to protect the disenfranchised and to eliminate the injustices and resultant disparities experienced by minority groups in the United States of America. The panel members are passionate about this topic, represent a full range of socio-cultural identities, and reflect views of counselors-in-training, counselors, and counselor educators/supervisors. Come ready for an invigorating discussion that is anchored by the objectives, and be prepared to be inspired.

Objectives:

  1. Participants will leave with an understanding of the differences between allyship and accompliceship as it relates to the field of counseling.
  2. Participants will leave with an understanding of the power of collaboration amongst different identities as counselors, counselor supervisors, and counselor trainees engage in accompliceship collectively.
  3. Participants will leave with actionable takeaways that embodies the spirit of accompliceship in counseling.

Presented by:
Panelists include:  Lotes Nelson, Ph.D., LCMHC, ACS, NCC; Marsha "MJ" Milan-Nichols, Ph.D., Shuo Yuan, CMHC Graduate Student; and Derrick Whiteman, Youth Pastor. 

Moderator:  David Julius Ford, Jr., Ph.D., LCMHC (NC), LPC (VA, NJ), NCC, ACS
