| Sumario: | This special issue focuses on the broaching framework, which involves counselors intentionally addressing race, ethnicity, culture, and other intersectional identities during the counseling process to better understand clients' lived experiences. It highlights challenges counselors face in discussing these topics, the benefits of broaching for therapeutic outcomes, and recent empirical studies on broaching training and practices across diverse cultural contexts, including non-Western settings. The issue also presents models and strategies, such as the BRIDGE model and the multidimensional model of broaching behavior (MMBB), to enhance counselors’ skills and cultural responsiveness. Additionally, it addresses broaching applications in school counseling to support marginalized groups, including Black students and students with disabilities, emphasizing broaching as a professional orientation grounded in cultural humility and social justice.
