Dr. Demetrius Cofield: Counselor Education, Clinical Mental Health and Addictions Specialist Tenure Track Search Candidate Job Talk

This presentation will discuss the silent mental health struggles and low mental health treatment utilization of Black men has been the focus of many studies for over thirty years. Many factors have been identified as barriers to treatment or influential in Black men’s decisions to seek help for their mental health, but little attention has been given to their preferences for therapists. Guided by Critical Race Theory and Black Critical Theory, interpretive phenomenology was used to explore and understand 10 Black men’s racial and gender preferences for therapists.  Implications for counselors and counselor educators will be discussed. The Zoom link for the job talk is below.

Students also have the opportunity to meet with the candidate on Monday, April 8 at 2:30 pm with on Zoom.

Toolkit workshops are designed to support participants’ professional development, engage them in reflecting on, discussing, and sharing their teaching practices, and build community between graduate instructors on campus who are passionate about improving their teaching. All graduate students, regardless of teaching experience, are welcome to attend.
