Featuring chapters written by interdisciplinary scholars, Anti-Black Racism in Contemporary America helps readers identify anti-Black racism and internalized White cultural practices, processes, and procedures that cause harm to Black individuals and African Americans. The opening chapter addresses societal racism and explores how it causes institutional racial disparities across various systems. Additional chapters propose a more racially appropriate framework for educating Black children; examine protests of Black male and female athletes and the effects of racism on sport at all levels; and address the disempowerment of Black people in the election process. The book addresses the counseling process with Black clients, speaks to the right of Black parents to raise their children, and underscores the importance of protecting the integrity of Black families. Anti-Black Racism in Contemporary America is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, co-sponsored by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key multicultural groups.

Group Counseling Leadership Skills for School Counselors: Stretching Beyond Interventions equips readers with the foundational knowledge and effective techniques they need to create diverse spaces and lead groups in PreK-12 schools and communities. The text employs the TRATE My Group framework to help future school counselors and leaders approach daily group interactions with a new perspective and increased intentionality on the larger process. Opening chapters provide a summary of professional training and practice standards, present key theoretical concepts and terms, and introduce the TRATE My Group framework, an approach designed to foster culturally engaged group work practices for task, psychoeducation, and counseling/growth groups. Additional chapters narrow the focus on specific populations commonly served in public PreK-12 school settings and illustrate how to apply the TRATE My Group framework. They address various social issues that affect public school environments, including social justice advocacy, technological competence, and inclusive excellence. The final chapter provides readers with resources, articles, professional development opportunities, and activities that can be applied in multiple situations.
