| Popis: | Multicultural (MC) and social justice (SJ) training have been areas of exploration within the field of counseling psychology and have gained continual traction within the supporting Canadian literature. This article provides a critique of the current ways in which MC and SJ training are understood within the field of counseling psychology, how they are taught, and how this training is taken up and perceived by graduate students. We discuss the importance of counseling psychology continuing to move beyond dichotomizing MC and SJ competencies from foundational counseling competencies, to expand past traditional strategies of pedagogy, and to further commit to engaging in practices of decolonization, community involvement, and ongoing faculty training. Recommendations for instructors and graduate training programs are made to support more critical systemic dialogs for the advancement of an MC and SJ agenda in Canadian counseling psychology programs.
