Changing the Game: Introducing Creative and Culturally Responsive School Counseling Approaches to Support Black Male Youth
Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores the use of culturally responsive and creative counseling practices that both challenge oppressive schooling policies and support the authentic development of Black male youth. Hip-hop, podcasting, and gaming are offered as innovative approaches to assist growth across academic, social/emotional, and career domains. We include three case studies that involve hip-hop, podcasting, and gaming that demonstrate the feasibility of and need for such culturally responsive and creative counseling practices. Recommendations for practice, policy and research are also discussed.
