Abstract

ABSTRACT: The 2003 ACA Advocacy Competencies include domains in which counselors can act with or on behalf of clients, students, schools, communities, and the public. We completed a content analysis of 23 counseling journals (2004–2016) to explore how the counseling literature infused dimensions of ACA Advocacy Competencies. Out of 6, 945 journal articles over the 13-year period, 280 were relevant for our study. Findings and suggestions related to the Advocacy Competencies framework are provided.
