What do a middle school teacher, a college professor, a licensed professional counselor, a social worker, a minister and a graduate student have in common? The answer is no joke: they all deal with cross-cultural and diversity issues on a daily basis. These people 聽and their students, clients and congregations 聽are the reason that the Southeastern Conference on Cross-Cultural Issues in Counseling and Education will take place for the sixth consecutive year. The conference will include two full-day sessions at the Coastal Georgia Center in Savannah on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 9 and 10. Among the many topics to be addressed are how ‘acting white” has hindered success for minorities and at-risk youth; how to counsel Middle Eastern and Jewish Americans without misjudgment; and how therapists can become culturally competent. The Colleges of Education at 糖心Vlog, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Augusta State University, Albany State University and the University of Georgia are co-sponsors of the conference along with the Licensed Professional Counselors Association of Georgia, Child and Family Guidance of Georgia, and the Savannah-based Recovery Place Inc. The $225 registration fee includes two days of instruction, conference materials, and continuing education credits for social workers, teachers and counselors. Meals and refreshment breaks are also included in the fee. A group rate of $180 each is offered for four or more people from the same school or organization. College students may attend the entire conference for $115 with a student-status letter from a professor. To register, visit聽聽or call Georgia Southern’s Continuing Education Center at (912) 681-5551.
