Since the beginning of the pandemic, the inequities and injustices in our country and around world has been amplified (i.e., disparities in health, education, access to services, etc.). Throughout this semester we have talked consistently of the lived experience and how it defines, impacts, and influences an individual’s relation to the world, interactions with individuals, and the salience of identities. Our lived experiences and the experiences of the individuals we serve do not occur in isolation; rather, they happen in the context of our social and political environments.
As rehabilitation counselors, to be culturally humble we must also be cognizant of the environments individuals function in and how they may facilitate or impede a person’s success, progress, access, and overall quality of life. Our media is filled with examples that beg for cultural humility and accountability in our institutions, communities, and individual actions. There are also examples that capture the spirit of social justice, equity, and inclusion.
