Diversity in College Settings: Directives for Helping Professionals

This text is a collection of case studies of counselling and mental health interventions with college students in the USA. Contributors examine the effects that differences such as race, ethnicity, culture, health, age and learning difficulties can have on students’ experiences. They focus in particular on the experiences of students from ethnic minorities in predominantly white universities. These experienced practitioners provide practical strategies and suggestions for effective and culturally competent interventions which should be of interest to all counsellors and mental health practitioners who work in higher education or who are interested in cross-cultural issues.
