The social justice perspective of many MHC Counseling programs takes a particular form at UMass Boston. Faculty members train students and do research in areas that challenge mainstream psychology and counseling ideas, develop innovative forms of treatment, uncover exploitation and conflicts of interest, and address biases that oppress groups based on sexuality, race, ethnicity, and ability. Students at the master’s level can participate in research groups with award winning faculty and can be mentored towards their own publications and application to doctoral programs. Even when the Mental Health master’s is the final degree for a student, rest assured that UMass students go into the profession ready to address injustice as they see it systemically and in the lives of their clients.
