Taylor Sweet-Cosce, Core Faculty member in the School or Counseling, Psychology, and Therapy (CPT), Counseling Division, and colleagues, Jordan Mike and Nia Page, MA, NCC, are presenting an educational session at the 2025 Counselors for Social Justice Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, April 11-12, 2025.
Their conference presentation is entitled “To Counselors and Counselor Educators: Centering Community, Renewal, and Self-Preservation Amid Increasing State and Federal Legislative Pressures.” It focuses on challenges faced by current and former counselor educators-in-training committed to decolonized systemic change in the state of Florida.
Their session highlights the negative effects and implications of Anti-DEI legislation in the state of Florida. The conversation will be delivered through lenses of trauma stewardship, liberatory practices, recovery, and narrative empowerment. They hope to encourage the importance of fostering connections, sharing experiences, and finding mutual support among peers and future/current educators to continue transformative work.
