• In Event: Shaping Inclusive Futures: Multicultural Perspectives on Education and Well-Being

Abstract

This study examined the use of character connection journaling as a tool for understanding microaggressions among counselor-in-trainings. Qualitative data were collected from graduate student trainees' (N = 22) reflective journals. Findings suggest that trainees describe the significant impact character connection journaling has had on their understanding of microaggressions. Implications for using character connection journaling as a training tool in graduate-level counseling skill courses and future research are discussed.
