Runtime - 48 minutes
 
Rebecca Toporek, Ph.D. presents at the 2010 Teachers College Annual Winter Roundtable at Columbia University.

How can we, as counselors, take social justice into action? Dr. Toporek argues that engaging in our community is an imperative piece toward social justice as it enhances our ability to be culturally relevant and demonstrate integrity in practice, research and training. Students will encounter ways counselors and communities can combine resources, knowledge and power to make change happen. Specific examples show to implement community social justice (Toporek's own work in the San Francisco community ad APA Div 17s "Give Back" initiative).
