Assignment
Respond to the following question as it relates to the information you read regarding the R/CID (Racial/Cultural Identity Development) Model, posted in this week's Courseweek folder:
In the Conclusions section of the chapter reading provided on the R/CID Model, it is implied that there has been little written about the racial identity development of helping professionals. When you consider the information presented in the R/CID Model, why do you think it is important to explore your own racial/cultural identity as a future professional counselor? What might be a negative outcome of your not doing this?
