This moderated discussion will explore effective ways to advocate with people of color, as opposed to advocating for people of color in counseling. The panel will share culturally relevant approaches to advocacy, including how to broach topics of race/ethnicity in intersectional contexts. The panel welcomes questions from participants, which can be emailed to <a href="mailto:julieta.rubio@utsa.edu" title="mailto:julieta.rubio@utsa.edu">julieta.rubio@utsa.edu</a> in advance for inclusion in the panel discussion. The webinar is open access. CEUs are offered for active AMCD Members.
