    Our clinical program offers a counseling clinic for the community from January through June. Our graduate students provide free counseling to children and adults in our community. Each graduate student is supervised by a licensed supervisor. One of our first-year students, Guadalupe (Lupita) Martinez is Latina and would love to see Spanish-speaking youth in our counseling clinic. However, none of our clinical faculty are fluent Spanish speakers. We would love to meet this student’s wish for multiple reasons: it would be providing greater diversity in our training; it would allow our student to gain early expertise in the community in which she wishes to serve in the future; it will allow Spanish-speaking youth to receive counseling in their original language; the graduate cohort will benefit in their overall training by observing and learning from the cultural dynamics involved; it will help our recruitment efforts to bring more diverse students into the program, and finally, our program will inevitably be challenged to grow in our diversity, equity, and social justice efforts all the more.
    We have identified a licensed Latina mental health counselor, Sara Andaluz Majumbar, who is very willing to supervise this student. She in turn will collaborate with the student’s faculty supervisor. This appears to be a win-win for everyone involved. However, the department does not have funds to pay the Latina counselor for her supervision. We are reaching out to you for any suggestions you have for funding resources.

    Sincerely,
    Jeff King, PhD
