“Championing justice, access, and mental wellness for Black communities nationwide.” |
The Advocacy Committee of the National Association of Black Counselors (NABC) is dedicated to monitoring federal executive orders, legislation, and policy actions that impact Black communities, mental health professionals, and the clients we serve. Our mission is to ensure that the voices of Black counselors remain central in shaping equitable policies that promote access, justice, and wellness.
Through these briefings, the Advocacy Committee provides accessible, research-informed summaries and analyses of current executive actions. Each post reflects our commitment to advocacy, education, and empowerment ensuring that our members and partners remain informed, engaged, and equipped to respond to policies affecting the mental health and well-being of our communities.
Below are the Committee’s most recent briefings on executive orders and their implications for Black mental health, counseling practice, and social justice.
