TOPIC

The aim of the AMCD Virtual Summit is to foster engagement among scholars, professionals, and students from a myriad of counseling specialties 

In addition to the two keynote presentations, there will be multiple sessions that will focus on the development, human rights, and psychological health of ethnic/racial populations. 

Presentations will focus on how these critical concepts relate to personal, social, educational, political, and professional reforms of individuals within the United States and globally. 

To this end, we will utilize innovative technology that provides attendees with global perspectives from acclaimed international and domestic scholars. 

(NBCC Approved Continuing Education (CE) will be available.)
