Abstract

School counselors have a unique role as frontline advocates and change agents who work toward addressing systemic inequities within K-12 education (Placeres et al., 2022). Racism is the systemic prioritization of Whiteness as the standard of humanness, success, and well-being. School counselors are responsible for resisting racism in the support of the wellness of all students. This consensual qualitative study examined the question, what is antiracist school counseling? Four focus groups (N = 17) were conducted within the School Counseling Interest Network (SCIN), a subgroup of the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES). The resulting four domains, such as anti-Blackness, knowledge, action, and responsibility, describe antiracist school counseling. Implications for counselor education, research, and practice are discussed.
