Help shape the future of counselor education.

The National Association of Black Counselors invites eligible counseling practitioners and counselor educators to participate in a dissertation study exploring the essential Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) and effective ways to assess them in counselor education.

Led by Sharon Gbadamosi, a doctoral student at Rutgers University, this study aims to build expert consensus on the competencies counseling students need before entering clinical practice.

Interested and eligible? Complete the screening survey to learn more:

🔗 https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2cyuyaHmQt17n0i

Participation is voluntary and involves three online surveys over approximately 8–12 weeks. For questions, contact Sharon Gbadamosi at [email protected]

Your expertise can help inform the future of multicultural and social justice counseling.

Dear NABC Family,

We are incredibly proud of and excited about the National Association of Black Counselors (NABC), the work we are doing, and the direction in which our association is moving. We are building something meaningful, and we know that you share our pride and excitement about what NABC represents and the impact we are making within the counseling profession and our communities.

As we continue to grow, we want to encourage each of you to help us spread the word about NABC!

Despite the tremendous work we are doing, there are still people who have not heard about our association or the great things we are accomplishing. There are counselors, students, educators, and other professionals who could benefit from being part of NABC but may not even know we exist. We want to change that, and we need your help to make it happen.

Talk about the association with your friends, colleagues, students, and professional networks. Share our social media posts, promote our events and initiatives, and encourage others to become members. Sometimes, a simple conversation or personal invitation is all it takes to introduce someone to an organization that could become an important part of their professional journey.

We have also been working to establish and strengthen relationships with colleges and universities, particularly counseling programs, to introduce students and faculty to NABC and the opportunities we offer. If you have connections with universities, counseling departments, faculty members, or student organizations, we would welcome your assistance in helping us build those relationships. An introduction, a shared contact, or an opportunity to speak with students and faculty can make a tremendous difference.

NABC belongs to all of us, and its success is a shared responsibility. While our Board of Directors and committees are working hard to move the association forward, our greatest strength has always been our membership. Your voices, your connections, your involvement, and your commitment are what make this organization what it is.

We often talk about the importance of representation, advocacy, community, and creating spaces where Black counselors are seen, heard, supported, and empowered. NABC is one of those spaces, and together, we have an opportunity to make it even stronger.

Remember, our association can only be as great as its membership. The more we engage, participate, and share what NABC has to offer, the greater our collective impact will be.

Thank you for being part of the NABC family, for believing in our mission, and for helping us build an association that we can all continue to be proud of.

Let's keep growing, connecting, and making a difference together!

With appreciation,

Dr. Nick
President
National Association of Black Counselors (NABC)
