‌among‌ ‌their‌ ‌experiences‌ ‌and‌ ‌in‌‌ how‌‌counselors‌‌assist‌‌them.‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ How‌ ‌can‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌benefit‌ ‌people‌ ‌who‌ ‌are‌ ‌struggling‌‌ in‌‌their‌‌lives?‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 4.1.‌C ‌ haracteristics‌a

‌ The‌ ‌clientele‌ ‌in‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌can‌ ‌be‌ ‌classified‌ ‌based‌ ‌on‌‌its‌‌size.‌‌Counseling‌‌can‌‌be‌‌done‌‌for‌‌ individuals,‌ ‌groups,‌ ‌communities,‌ ‌and‌ ‌organizations.‌ ‌Hence,‌ ‌there‌‌can‌‌be‌‌variations‌‌in‌‌the‌‌ specificity‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌concerns‌ ‌being‌ ‌addressed.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌the‌ ‌conduct‌ ‌of‌ ‌sessions‌ ‌would‌ ‌still‌‌ depend‌‌on‌‌the‌‌clients‌‌themselves‌‌and‌‌the‌‌concerns‌‌that‌‌they‌‌present‌‌during‌‌the‌‌counseling‌‌ process.‌‌ ‌ ‌ Individuals‌ ‌ Counseling‌‌for‌‌‌individuals‌‌‌or‌‌‌individual‌‌counseling‌‌‌involves‌‌one-on-one‌‌sessions‌‌between‌‌ a‌‌single‌‌client‌‌and‌‌the‌‌counselor‌‌(California‌‌State‌‌University‌‌Channel‌‌Islands,‌‌n.d.‌‌).‌‌There‌‌is‌‌ a‌ ‌high‌ ‌degree‌ ‌of‌ ‌confidentiality‌‌in‌‌this‌‌set-up‌‌because‌‌of‌‌its‌‌one-on-one‌‌nature.‌‌Of‌‌course,‌ confidentiality‌‌can‌‌still‌‌be‌‌ensured‌‌even‌‌in‌‌modes‌‌of‌‌counseling‌‌with‌‌a‌‌higher‌‌clientele‌‌size.‌‌ Individual‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌often‌ ‌focuses‌ ‌on‌ ‌“near‌ ‌future”‌ ‌or‌ ‌“immediate”‌ ‌concerns,‌ ‌such‌ ‌as‌‌ grieving‌‌a‌‌loved‌‌one‌‌or‌‌choosing‌‌one’s‌‌future‌‌career.‌‌ ‌ ‌ Groups‌ ‌ Counseling‌ ‌for‌ ‌groups‌‌‌or‌‌‌group‌‌counseling‌‌‌involves‌‌a‌ larger‌ ‌number‌ ‌of‌ ‌clients,‌ ‌specifically‌ ‌around‌ ‌five‌ ‌to‌‌ fifteen‌ ‌people,‌ ‌or‌ ‌sometimes‌ ‌even‌ ‌a‌ ‌couple‌ ‌(Bradley‌‌ University,‌ ‌n.d.‌ ‌).‌ ‌Group‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌can‌ ‌either‌ ‌be‌‌ educational‌ ‌or‌ ‌therapeutic.‌ ‌For‌ ‌example,‌ ‌it‌‌can‌‌involve‌‌ educating‌ ‌a‌ ‌group‌ ‌of‌ ‌students‌ ‌in‌ ‌managing‌ ‌academic‌‌ stress‌ ‌to‌ ‌prevent‌ ‌burnout.‌ ‌It‌ ‌can‌ ‌also‌ ‌be‌ ‌therapeutic‌‌ such‌ ‌as‌ ‌in‌ ‌support‌ ‌groups‌ ‌for‌ ‌people‌ ‌who‌ ‌are‌‌ recovering‌‌from‌‌substance‌‌abuse.‌‌In‌‌these‌‌settings,‌‌the‌‌ members‌‌can‌‌share‌‌their‌‌struggles‌‌and‌‌solve‌‌problems‌‌ together.‌ ‌The‌ ‌role‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌counselor‌ ‌is‌ ‌to‌ ‌facilitate‌ ‌the‌‌ interaction‌‌and‌‌sharing‌‌among‌‌members.‌‌However,‌‌the‌‌ content‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌aims‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌session‌ ‌often‌ ‌depend‌ ‌on‌‌ the‌‌members.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 4.1.‌C ‌ haracteristics‌a ‌ nd‌N ‌

‌individuals‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌communities‌ ‌at‌ ‌large‌ ‌(Lewis‌‌ and‌ ‌Lewis‌ ‌1989,‌ ‌2).‌ ‌A‌ ‌community‌ ‌is‌ ‌defined‌ ‌as‌ ‌as‌ ‌“a‌ ‌system‌ ‌of‌ ‌interdependent‌ ‌persons,‌‌ groups,‌ ‌and‌ ‌organizations‌ ‌that‌ ‌(1989,‌ ‌1)‌ ‌meets‌ ‌the‌ ‌individual’s‌ ‌primary‌ ‌needs,‌ ‌(1989,‌ ‌2)‌‌ affects‌ ‌the‌ ‌individual’s‌‌daily‌‌life,‌‌and‌‌(1989,‌‌3)‌‌mediates‌‌between‌‌the‌‌individual‌‌and‌‌society‌‌ as‌‌a‌‌whole‌‌(1989,‌‌7).”‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ In‌ ‌community‌ ‌counseling,‌ ‌change‌ ‌must‌ ‌not‌ ‌only‌ ‌occur‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌individual‌ ‌level.‌ ‌The‌‌ community‌‌may‌‌also‌‌have‌‌problems‌‌that‌‌need‌‌to‌‌be‌‌addressed.‌‌Problems‌‌at‌‌the‌‌community‌‌ level‌ ‌might‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌more‌ ‌difficult‌ ‌for‌ ‌individuals‌ ‌to‌ ‌sustain‌ ‌the‌ ‌changes‌ ‌they‌ ‌have‌ ‌made‌‌ during‌ ‌individual‌ ‌counseling.‌ ‌For‌‌example,‌‌recovery‌‌from‌‌substance‌‌abuse‌‌might‌‌be‌‌more‌‌ difficult‌‌if‌‌supplies‌‌are‌‌still‌‌available‌‌at‌‌the‌‌level‌‌of‌‌the‌‌community.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Meanwhile,‌ ‌community‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌encompasses‌ ‌the‌ ‌various‌ ‌groups‌ ‌in‌ ‌society,‌ ‌including‌‌ families,‌‌daycare‌‌centers,‌‌retirement‌‌communities,‌‌and‌‌the‌‌government‌‌(Gladding‌‌and‌‌Ryan‌‌ 2001,‌‌344‌–3 ‌ 46).‌‌ ‌ ‌ Organizations‌ ‌ In‌ ‌terms‌ ‌of‌ ‌clientele‌ ‌size,‌ ‌organizations‌ ‌can‌ ‌perhaps‌‌be‌‌considered‌‌being‌‌between‌‌groups‌‌ and‌‌communities.‌‌However,‌‌as‌‌its‌‌name‌‌implies,‌‌counseling‌‌for‌‌organizations‌‌usually‌‌serves‌‌ a‌‌completely‌‌different‌‌purpose.‌‌Counseling‌‌for‌‌organizations‌‌or‌‌‌organizational‌‌counseling‌‌ typically‌‌involves‌‌working‌‌with‌‌a‌‌company‌‌in‌‌order‌‌to‌‌help‌‌its‌‌employees‌‌achieve‌‌their‌‌goals‌‌ or‌ ‌perform‌ ‌better‌ ‌(Helkowski‌ ‌2018).‌ ‌As‌ ‌such,‌ ‌an‌ ‌organizational‌ ‌counselor‌ ‌may‌ ‌train‌‌ employees‌ ‌or‌‌be‌‌involved‌‌in‌‌creating‌‌rules‌‌that‌‌employees‌‌should‌‌follow‌‌(Helkowski‌‌2018).‌‌ However,‌‌organizational‌‌counseling‌‌can‌‌also‌‌be‌‌an‌‌opportunity‌‌for‌‌a‌‌company‌‌to‌‌listen‌‌to‌‌its‌‌ employees’‌‌concerns‌‌to‌‌create‌ ‌a‌‌better‌‌working‌‌environment‌‌(Helkowski‌‌2018).‌‌ ‌

‌life‌ ‌can‌ ‌benefit‌ ‌from‌ ‌counseling.‌ ‌There‌ ‌are‌ ‌no‌‌ specific‌ ‌conditions‌ ‌or‌ ‌criteria‌ ‌that‌ ‌are‌ ‌required‌ ‌before‌ ‌a‌ ‌person‌ ‌can‌ ‌seek‌ ‌help.‌ ‌Thus,‌‌ counselors‌ ‌often‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌deal‌ ‌with‌ ‌different‌ ‌people‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌wide‌ ‌variety‌ ‌of‌ ‌concerns.‌‌ However,‌ ‌what‌ ‌is‌ ‌common‌ ‌among‌ ‌the‌‌clientele‌‌is‌‌the‌‌need‌‌for‌‌a‌‌safe‌‌space‌‌with‌‌a‌‌trusted‌‌ expert‌‌with‌‌whom‌‌they‌‌can‌‌explore‌‌their‌‌concerns‌‌without‌‌judgment.‌ ‌ ‌ Some‌ ‌mental‌ ‌health‌ ‌professionals‌ ‌have‌ ‌developed‌ ‌specific‌ ‌paradigms‌ ‌or‌ ‌ways‌ ‌of‌‌ approaching‌ ‌the‌ ‌clients’‌ ‌problems‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌uniqueness‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌situations‌ ‌and‌‌ characteristics.‌ ‌Many‌ ‌of‌ ‌these‌ ‌clients‌ ‌face‌ ‌more‌ ‌difficulties,‌ ‌such‌ ‌as‌ ‌discrimination‌ ‌and‌‌ marginalization,‌‌because‌‌of‌‌their‌‌conditions‌‌and‌‌identities.‌‌ ‌ ‌ People‌w ‌ ith‌S ‌ ubstance‌A ‌ buse‌P ‌ roblems‌ ‌ Substance‌‌abuse‌‌is‌‌characterized‌‌by‌‌the‌‌excessive‌‌use‌‌of,‌‌intense‌‌craving‌‌for,‌‌and/or‌‌failure‌‌ to‌ ‌control‌ ‌one’s‌ ‌consumption‌ ‌of‌ ‌substances‌ ‌(American‌ ‌Psychiatric‌ ‌Association‌ ‌2013,‌ ‌481).‌‌ This‌ ‌condition‌ ‌impairs‌ ‌a‌ ‌client’s‌ ‌life‌ ‌in‌‌many‌‌ways.‌‌Substance‌‌use‌‌can‌‌cause‌‌problems‌‌in‌‌a‌‌ client’s‌ ‌ability‌ ‌to‌ ‌have‌ ‌healthy‌ ‌relationships‌ ‌with‌ ‌family‌ ‌and‌ ‌friends.‌ ‌Clients‌ ‌also‌ ‌put‌‌ themselves‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌great‌ ‌physical‌ ‌risk‌ ‌just‌ ‌to‌ ‌obtain‌ ‌the‌ ‌substance.‌ ‌For‌ ‌instance,‌ ‌some‌ ‌may‌‌ engage‌ ‌in‌ ‌risky‌ ‌sexual‌ ‌or‌ ‌criminal‌ ‌behaviors.‌ ‌Substance‌ ‌use‌ ‌is‌ ‌also‌ ‌characterized‌ ‌by‌‌ tolerance,‌ ‌or‌ ‌the‌ ‌need‌ ‌to‌ ‌increase‌ ‌the‌ ‌amount‌ ‌of‌ ‌substance‌ ‌consumed‌ ‌in‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌‌ experience‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌intensity‌ ‌of‌ ‌effect.‌ ‌This‌ ‌increasing‌ ‌tolerance‌ ‌ensures‌ ‌the‌ ‌client’s‌‌ continued‌‌dependence‌‌on‌‌the‌‌substance,‌‌thus‌‌worsening‌‌his‌‌or‌‌her‌‌condition.‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 4.1.‌C ‌ haracteristics‌a ‌ nd‌N ‌ eeds‌o ‌ f‌C ‌ lientele‌a ‌ nd‌A ‌ udiences‌ ‌ 7‌ ‌  ‌ Unit‌‌4:‌‌Counseling‌‌Services:‌‌Clientele,‌‌Settings,‌‌Tools,‌‌and‌‌Processes‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ It‌‌is‌‌important‌‌to‌‌take‌‌note‌‌that‌‌substance‌‌abuse‌‌is‌‌a‌‌health‌‌problem‌‌rather‌‌than‌‌a‌‌criminal‌‌ one‌ ‌and‌‌thus‌‌requires‌‌the‌‌help‌‌of‌‌a‌‌counselor.‌‌Moreover,‌‌substance‌‌use‌‌occurs‌‌with‌‌other‌‌ mental‌‌health‌‌problems‌‌such‌‌as‌‌anxiety‌‌and‌‌depression.‌‌Thus,‌‌counselors‌‌have‌‌to‌‌work‌‌with‌‌ clients‌‌in‌‌order‌‌to‌‌address‌‌these‌‌co-occurring‌‌issues‌‌to‌‌make‌‌sure‌‌that‌‌these‌‌will‌‌not‌‌impede‌‌ the‌‌clients’‌‌recovery.‌‌Counseling‌‌offers‌‌a‌‌variety‌‌of‌‌techniques‌‌to‌‌help‌‌people‌‌recover‌‌from‌‌ substance‌ ‌use‌ ‌problems.‌ ‌Moreover,‌ ‌some‌ ‌counselors‌ ‌encourage‌ ‌their‌ ‌clients‌ ‌to‌ ‌also‌ ‌join‌‌ group‌‌counseling‌‌sessions‌‌with‌‌others‌‌who‌‌are‌‌also‌‌trying‌‌to‌‌recover‌‌from‌‌substance‌‌abuse.‌‌ ‌ ‌‌ Women‌ ‌ It‌ ‌is‌ ‌no‌ ‌secret‌ ‌that‌ ‌women‌ ‌have‌ ‌faced‌ ‌inequality‌ ‌and‌ ‌gender‌‌discrimination.‌‌This‌‌can‌‌take‌‌ many‌ ‌forms.‌ ‌Women‌ ‌tend‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌unfairly‌ ‌considered‌‌“subordinate”‌‌compared‌‌to‌‌men,‌‌lack‌‌ power‌‌in‌‌romantic‌‌relationships,‌‌or‌‌face‌‌unrealistic‌‌expectations‌‌with‌‌regard‌‌to‌‌their‌‌bodies‌‌ (Rogers‌‌1995,‌‌cited‌‌in‌‌Corey‌‌2017,‌‌342).‌‌ ‌ ‌ These‌‌experiences‌‌have‌‌affected‌‌their‌‌mental‌‌health.‌‌Because‌‌of‌‌facing‌‌certain‌‌expectations‌‌ about‌ ‌their‌ ‌bodies,‌ ‌women‌ ‌may‌ ‌suffer‌ ‌from‌ ‌eating‌‌disorders‌‌as‌‌well‌‌as‌‌depression‌‌(Corey‌‌ 2017,‌ ‌342).‌‌Women‌‌may‌‌also‌‌internalize‌‌the‌‌belief‌‌that‌‌they‌‌are‌‌lesser‌‌beings‌‌compared‌‌to‌‌ men‌‌(Corey,‌‌2017,‌‌342).‌ ‌ ‌ Counselors‌ ‌and‌ ‌therapists‌ ‌aim‌ ‌to‌ ‌help‌ ‌in‌ ‌addressing‌ ‌these‌ ‌issues‌ ‌by‌ ‌employing‌ ‌feminist‌‌ therapy.‌ ‌In‌ ‌this‌ ‌approach,‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌removes‌ ‌the‌ ‌male‌–f‌ emale‌ ‌dichotomy‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌‌ traditional‌ ‌idea‌ ‌that‌ ‌women‌ ‌behave‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌‌certain‌‌way‌‌because‌‌it‌‌is‌‌in‌‌their‌‌nature‌‌to‌‌do‌‌so.‌ ‌ Instead,‌ ‌it‌ ‌emphasizes‌ ‌that‌ ‌women’s‌ ‌behaviors‌ ‌result‌ ‌from‌‌societal‌‌conditions‌‌(Worell‌‌and‌‌ Remer‌ ‌2003,‌ ‌cited‌ ‌in‌ ‌Corey‌ ‌2017,‌ ‌341).‌ ‌Counseling‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌feminist‌ ‌perspective‌ ‌also‌‌ considers‌‌all‌‌experiences‌‌that‌‌women‌‌face‌‌as‌‌valid‌‌and‌‌real‌‌(Evans‌‌and‌‌Miller‌‌2016,‌‌cited‌‌in‌‌ Corey‌‌2017‌‌344).‌‌Furthermore,‌‌according‌‌to‌‌Corey‌‌(2017,‌‌344),‌‌psychological‌‌distress‌‌in‌‌this‌‌ perspective‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌considered‌ ‌a‌ ‌weakness‌ ‌or‌ ‌a‌ ‌disease‌ ‌but‌ ‌rather‌ ‌a‌ ‌way‌ ‌to‌ ‌cope‌ ‌with‌‌ struggles‌ ‌in‌ ‌one’s‌ ‌life‌ ‌and‌ ‌in‌ ‌society.‌ ‌In‌ ‌addition,‌ ‌through‌ ‌the‌ ‌feminist‌ ‌lens,‌ ‌counseling‌‌ encourages‌ ‌women‌ ‌to‌ ‌acknowledge‌ ‌the‌ ‌way‌ ‌society‌ ‌has‌ ‌affected‌ ‌them‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌way‌ ‌they‌‌ have‌ ‌perceived‌ ‌themselves‌ ‌(Worell‌ ‌and‌ ‌Remer‌ ‌2003,‌ ‌cited‌ ‌in‌ ‌Corey,‌ ‌2017‌ ‌345).‌ ‌In‌ ‌turn,‌‌ counseling‌ ‌can‌ ‌empower‌ ‌women‌ ‌by‌ ‌helping‌ ‌them‌ ‌trust‌ ‌their‌ ‌instincts‌ ‌and‌ ‌switch‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌‌ “self-enhancing”‌‌perception‌‌of‌‌themselves.‌‌ ‌ ‌ 4.1.‌C ‌ haracteristics‌a ‌ nd‌N ‌ eeds‌o ‌ f‌C ‌

‌bisexual‌,‌ ‌transgender‌,‌ ‌queer‌ ‌(or‌ ‌questioning).‌ ‌The‌ ‌Gay‌‌ and‌ ‌Lesbian‌ ‌Alliance‌ ‌Against‌ ‌Defamation‌ ‌(GLAAD)‌ ‌defines‌ ‌the‌ ‌listed‌ ‌terms‌ ‌as‌ ‌follows:‌ ‌gay‌‌ refers‌ ‌to‌‌men‌‌who‌‌are‌‌romantically‌‌and‌‌sexually‌‌attracted‌‌to‌‌other‌‌men;‌‌lesbian‌‌is‌‌a‌ ‌term‌‌ for‌ ‌women‌ ‌attracted‌ ‌to‌ ‌other‌ ‌women;‌ ‌bisexuals‌ ‌are‌ ‌those‌ ‌attracted‌ ‌to‌ ‌members‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌‌ same‌ ‌or‌ ‌opposite‌ ‌sex;‌ ‌transgender‌‌refers‌‌to‌‌those‌‌whose‌‌gender‌‌identity‌‌is‌‌different‌‌from‌‌ the‌‌one‌‌they‌‌were‌‌born‌‌with;‌‌queer‌‌refers‌‌to‌‌those‌‌who‌‌are‌‌“not‌‌exclusively‌‌heterosexual.”‌ ‌ ‌ The‌‌LGBTQ‌‌community‌‌also‌‌experiences‌‌‌marginalization‌,‌‌or‌‌the‌‌act‌‌of‌‌treating‌‌a‌‌particular‌‌ group‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌ ‌as‌ ‌insignificant‌ ‌or‌ ‌inferior.‌ ‌This‌ ‌marginalization‌ ‌often‌ ‌results‌ ‌in‌ ‌mental‌‌ health‌ ‌issues‌ ‌among‌ ‌the‌ ‌LGBTQ‌ ‌community.‌ ‌In‌ ‌fact,‌ ‌according‌ ‌to‌ ‌Melissa‌ ‌Jenco‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌‌ American‌ ‌Academy‌ ‌of‌ ‌Pediatrics‌ ‌(2018),‌ ‌the‌ ‌LGBTQ‌ ‌community‌ ‌often‌ ‌suffers‌ ‌more‌ ‌from‌‌ mental‌ ‌health‌‌disorders‌‌compared‌‌to‌‌heterosexuals.‌‌Suicide‌‌ideation‌‌was‌‌also‌‌found‌‌to‌‌be‌‌ evident‌‌among‌‌gay‌‌men‌‌(Manalastas‌‌2013,‌‌1).‌‌ ‌ ‌ In‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌help‌ ‌address‌ ‌these‌ ‌issues,‌ ‌counselors‌ ‌and‌ ‌therapists‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌consider‌ ‌the‌‌ multiple‌ ‌aspects‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌LGBTQ‌ ‌clients’‌ ‌lives‌ ‌(Israel‌ ‌et‌ ‌al.,‌ ‌2008,‌ ‌361).‌ ‌Examples‌ ‌of‌ ‌such‌‌ aspects‌‌include‌‌their‌‌socioeconomic‌‌status‌‌and‌‌their‌‌particular‌‌gender‌‌identity‌‌(Israel‌‌et‌‌al.,‌‌ 2008,‌ ‌361).‌ ‌For‌ ‌instance,‌ ‌what‌ ‌counselors‌ ‌should‌ ‌do‌ ‌to‌‌assist‌‌a‌‌transgender‌‌client‌‌may‌‌be‌‌ different‌ ‌from‌ ‌how‌ ‌non‌–t‌ ransgender‌ ‌LGBTQ‌ ‌clients‌ ‌should‌ ‌be‌ ‌assisted‌ ‌(Israel‌ ‌et‌‌al.,‌‌2008,‌‌ 367).‌‌ ‌ ‌ Victims‌o ‌ f‌A ‌ buse‌ ‌ The‌ ‌American‌ ‌Psychological‌ ‌Association‌ ‌(n.d.)‌ ‌defines‌ ‌abuse‌ ‌as‌ ‌“i‌nteractions‌ ‌in‌‌which‌‌one‌‌ person‌ ‌behaves‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌cruel,‌‌violent,‌‌demeaning,‌‌or‌‌invasive‌‌manner‌‌toward‌‌another‌‌person‌‌ or‌ ‌an‌ ‌animal.”‌ ‌They‌ ‌further‌ ‌explain‌ ‌that‌ ‌abuse‌ ‌can‌ ‌be‌ ‌physical,‌ ‌sexual,‌ ‌or‌‌ psychological/emotional.‌ ‌Neglect‌ ‌can‌ ‌also‌ ‌be‌ ‌considered‌ ‌a‌ ‌form‌ ‌of‌ ‌abuse‌ ‌(Adams‌ ‌2006,‌‌ 334).‌ ‌Women‌ ‌tend‌ ‌to‌ ‌experience‌ ‌physical‌ ‌abuse‌ ‌(Adams‌ ‌2006,‌ ‌334).‌ ‌Meanwhile,‌ ‌children‌‌ often‌‌either‌‌witness‌‌abuse‌‌or‌‌also‌‌experience‌‌it‌‌themselves‌‌(Adams‌‌2006,‌‌334).‌‌ ‌ ‌ Experiencing‌ ‌abuse‌ ‌has‌ ‌also‌ ‌been‌ ‌linked‌ ‌to‌ ‌substance‌ ‌abuse‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌post-traumatic‌‌ stress‌ ‌disorder‌ ‌(PTSD)‌ ‌caused‌ ‌by‌ ‌significantly‌‌traumatic‌‌or‌‌difficult‌‌experiences,‌‌including‌‌ abuse‌‌(NHS‌‌2018).‌‌‌Meanwhile,‌‌according‌‌to‌‌Adams‌‌(2006,‌‌338),‌‌abuse‌‌can‌‌result‌‌in‌‌the‌‌child‌‌ ‌ 4.1.‌C ‌ haracteristics‌a ‌ nd‌N ‌ eeds‌o ‌ f‌C ‌ lientele‌a ‌ nd‌A ‌ udiences‌ ‌ 9‌ ‌  ‌

‌The‌‌ child‌‌may‌‌also‌‌experience‌‌helplessness‌‌and‌‌shame‌‌(Adams‌‌2006,‌‌338).‌ ‌ Some‌‌of‌‌the‌‌ways‌‌to‌‌address‌‌the‌‌impacts‌‌of‌‌abuse‌‌on‌‌its‌‌victims‌‌include‌‌educating‌‌families‌‌

‌to‌ ‌extreme‌‌ competition‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌job‌ ‌market‌ ‌also‌ ‌results‌ ‌in‌ ‌poverty‌ ‌and‌ ‌difficulty‌ ‌of‌ ‌paying‌ ‌for‌ ‌housing‌‌ (Bagerly‌ ‌and‌ ‌Zalaquett,‌ ‌2006,‌ ‌162).‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌most‌ ‌likely‌ ‌why‌ ‌even‌ ‌professionals‌ ‌can‌ ‌be‌‌ homeless‌ ‌(Bagerly‌ ‌and‌ ‌Zalaquett,‌ ‌2006,‌ ‌162).‌ ‌In‌ ‌the‌ ‌Philippines,‌ ‌aside‌ ‌from‌ ‌poverty,‌‌ domestic‌‌violence,‌‌natural‌‌disasters,‌‌and‌‌human‌‌trafficking‌‌are‌‌also‌‌causes‌‌of‌‌homelessness‌‌ (Meribole,‌‌2020).‌‌ ‌ ‌ Homelessness‌‌can‌‌have‌‌numerous‌‌negative‌‌effects‌‌on‌‌people‌‌who‌‌experience‌‌it.‌‌According‌‌ to‌ ‌Bagerly‌ ‌and‌ ‌Zalaquett‌ ‌(2006,162-163),‌ ‌the‌ ‌homeless‌ ‌may‌ ‌experience‌ ‌serious‌ ‌mental‌‌ health‌‌issues.‌‌Meanwhile,‌‌in‌‌the‌‌Philippines,‌‌homeless‌‌children‌‌can‌‌suffer‌‌from‌‌exploitation‌‌ and‌‌stereotyping‌‌as‌‌criminals‌‌(Meribole,‌‌2020).‌‌ ‌ ‌ Counselors‌‌can‌‌play‌‌a‌‌major‌‌role‌‌in‌‌helping‌‌the‌‌homeless‌‌address‌‌the‌‌issues‌‌they‌‌face.‌‌They‌‌ may‌‌help‌‌homeless‌‌individuals‌‌plan‌‌out‌‌how‌‌to‌‌solve‌‌their‌‌problems‌‌(Bagerly‌‌and‌‌Zalaquett,‌ 2006,‌ ‌164).‌ ‌Counselors‌ ‌are‌ ‌also‌ ‌encouraged‌ ‌to‌ ‌reach‌ ‌out‌ ‌to‌ ‌communities‌ ‌at‌ ‌large‌ ‌and‌ ‌to‌‌ government‌ ‌officials‌ ‌to‌ ‌work‌ ‌towards‌ ‌solving‌ ‌the‌ ‌large-scale‌ ‌issues‌ ‌that‌ ‌lead‌ ‌to‌‌ homelessness‌‌(Bagerly‌‌and‌‌Zalaquett‌‌2006,‌‌164-165).‌‌In‌‌the‌‌Philippine‌‌setting,‌‌counseling‌‌is‌‌ part‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌project‌ ‌known‌ ‌as‌ ‌Modified‌ ‌Conditional‌ ‌Cash‌ ‌Transfer‌ ‌for‌ ‌Homeless‌ ‌Street‌‌ Families‌‌(MCCT-HSF)‌‌(Mendoza,‌‌et‌‌al.,‌‌2014,‌‌2).‌‌The‌‌project‌‌is‌‌expected‌‌to‌‌provide‌‌counseling‌‌ that‌ ‌helps‌ ‌the‌ ‌homeless‌ ‌plan‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌earn‌ ‌a‌ ‌more‌ ‌stable‌ ‌income‌‌and‌‌afford‌‌a‌‌permanent‌‌ home‌‌(Mendoza‌‌et‌‌al.,‌‌2014,‌‌2).‌ ‌ ‌ Persons‌w ‌ ith‌D ‌ isabilities‌(‌ PWDs)‌ ‌ The‌ ‌United‌ ‌Nations‌ ‌Convention‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌Rights‌ ‌of‌ ‌Persons‌ ‌with‌ ‌Disabilities‌ ‌and‌ ‌Optional‌‌ Protocol‌ ‌(n.d.)‌ ‌describes‌ ‌persons‌ ‌with‌ ‌disabilities‌ ‌as‌ ‌“t‌ hose‌ ‌who‌ ‌have‌ ‌long-term‌ ‌physical,‌‌ mental,‌ ‌intellectual‌ ‌or‌ ‌sensory‌ ‌impairments‌ ‌which‌‌in‌‌interaction‌‌with‌‌various‌‌barriers‌‌may‌‌ hinder‌ ‌their‌ ‌full‌‌and‌‌effective‌‌participation‌‌in‌‌society‌‌on‌‌an‌‌equal‌‌basis‌‌with‌‌others."‌‌PWDs‌‌ often‌ ‌face‌ ‌stigma.‌ ‌Society‌ ‌often‌ ‌unfairly‌ ‌considers‌ ‌them‌ ‌incapable‌ ‌of‌ ‌succeeding‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌‌ same‌‌way‌‌as‌‌those‌‌without‌‌disabilities‌‌(Balva‌‌and‌‌Tapia-Fuselier,‌‌Jr.,‌‌n.d.).‌‌ ‌ ‌

‌for‌ ‌counselors‌‌to‌‌acknowledge‌‌this‌‌stigma‌‌and‌‌its‌‌impact‌‌as‌‌they‌‌work‌‌with‌‌ PWDs‌‌(Chapin,‌‌et‌‌al.,‌‌2018,‌‌2)‌‌by‌‌listening‌‌to‌‌the‌‌concerns‌‌of‌‌their‌‌PWD‌‌clients‌‌(Chapin‌‌et‌‌al.,‌‌ 2018,‌‌4).‌‌Counselors‌‌also‌‌need‌‌to‌‌coordinate‌‌with‌‌schools,‌‌organizations,‌‌or‌‌workplaces‌‌that‌‌ their‌ ‌PWD‌ ‌client‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌part‌ ‌of‌ ‌(2018,‌ ‌3).‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌‌these‌‌places‌‌PWD-friendly‌‌and‌‌free‌‌ from‌‌PWD‌‌discrimination‌‌(2018,‌‌4).‌‌ ‌ ‌ People‌L ‌ iving‌w ‌ ith‌H ‌ IV/AIDS‌ ‌ The‌ ‌human‌ ‌immunodeficiency‌ ‌virus‌ ‌or‌ ‌HIV‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌virus‌ ‌that‌ ‌attacks‌ ‌the‌ ‌immune‌ ‌system‌‌ (Centers‌‌for‌‌Disease‌‌Control‌‌and‌‌Prevention,‌‌n.d.).‌‌It‌‌can‌‌lead‌‌to‌‌the‌‌disease‌‌called‌‌‌acquired‌‌ immunodeficiency‌ ‌syndrome‌ ‌or‌ ‌AIDS‌ ‌which‌ ‌impacts‌ ‌the‌ ‌immune‌ ‌system‌ ‌even‌ ‌more‌‌ severely,‌‌and,‌‌in‌‌extreme‌‌cases,‌‌leads‌‌to‌‌death.‌‌ ‌ ‌ Like‌ ‌many‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌groups‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌ ‌we‌ ‌have‌ ‌discussed,‌ ‌people‌ ‌living‌ ‌with‌ ‌HIV/AIDS‌ ‌also‌‌ suffer‌‌from‌‌mental‌‌health‌‌issues.‌‌According‌‌to‌‌Sarah‌‌Chippindale‌‌and‌‌Lesley‌‌French‌‌(2001),‌‌ people‌ ‌living‌ ‌with‌ ‌HIV/AIDS‌ ‌often‌ ‌suffer‌ ‌from‌ ‌depression‌ ‌over‌ ‌the‌ ‌lack‌ ‌of‌ ‌cure‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌‌ disease.‌ ‌They‌ ‌also‌ ‌experience‌ ‌anxiety‌ ‌about‌ ‌never‌ ‌recovering,‌ ‌experiencing‌ ‌stigma,‌ ‌and‌‌ being‌‌rejected‌‌by‌‌their‌‌partners.‌‌ ‌ ‌ In‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌help‌ ‌address‌ ‌these‌ ‌issues,‌ ‌counselors‌ ‌are‌ ‌encouraged‌ ‌to‌ ‌correct‌ ‌any‌‌ misconception‌ ‌about‌ ‌HIV/AIDS‌ ‌and‌ ‌to‌ ‌help‌ ‌their‌ ‌clients‌ ‌manage‌ ‌their‌ ‌anxiety‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌‌ disease‌ ‌(Chippindale‌ ‌and‌ ‌French‌ ‌2001).‌ ‌Chippindale‌ ‌and‌ ‌French‌ ‌also‌ ‌mention‌ ‌that‌‌ counselors‌ ‌are‌ ‌encouraged‌ ‌to‌ ‌counsel‌ ‌not‌ ‌only‌ ‌their‌ ‌clients‌ ‌living‌ ‌with‌ ‌HIV/AIDS‌ ‌but‌ ‌also‌‌ their‌‌loved‌‌ones.‌‌ ‌ ‌ Check‌‌Your‌‌Progress‌ ‌ How‌ ‌does‌ ‌counseling‌ ‌help‌ ‌the‌ ‌groups‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌
