CASJ is an organization of counselors who believe social justice and advocacy are critical to the counseling profession, de-stigmatization of mental health, and creating an equitable society.
The mission of CASJ, acting in accord with NMCA and CSJ, is to promote social justice by:
- Promoting a consciousness of social justice through inclusive dialogue within the counseling profession
- Contributing to the process of developing personal and professional competencies in advocacy and social justice
- Fostering individual, family, and community wellness within cultural contexts
- Engaging in mutual and equitable relationships that cultivate communication and collaboration among communities through outreach and networking.
- Providing a proactive and non-violent presence in the challenge to generate social consciousness within oppressive systems.
- Supporting professional development and leadership through mentoring
- Creating an inclusive culture which means allowing for anonymous comments at each meeting, allowing for an atmosphere where culturally unique and opinionated voices can be heard.
