Anti-Oppression in Action: Transforming Recruitment, Hiring, and Retention in Counselor Education

Drawing on the 10 principles of anti-oppression and scholarship on recruitment, hiring, and retention (RHR), we propose a diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-oppression (DEIAO) framework to support counselor educators and institutions in implementing anti-oppressive RHR practices. By framing RHR through an anti-oppressive lens, we developed DEIAO RHR considerations, which offer an approach for fostering transformative, sustainable, and equitable work and learning environments within counseling programs and their broader institutional contexts. We also discuss implications for RHR, counseling programs, and future research.
