Understanding of Intersectionality and Anti-oppression
As counselor, we need to be aware of ourselves's identities and our clients' identities. The oppression underlying those identities could be the reason why our clients reached out for help. Understanding the intersections of identities can help us to explore our clients' situation and provide a clear image about the treatment plan should be carried out.
