Abstract
This paper emphasizes the importance of the counselor’s awareness of personal biases and
understanding of how police-inflicted violence impacts marginalized populations. The impact of
loss of life and trauma from enduring police-inflicted brutality disproportionately impacts
communities of Color and those with mental health challenges. Due to individual experiences
and volatile political discourse, there are widely divergent views on the state of current policing
in the U.S. Counselors, given the nature of their work with populations at risk for experiencing
police-inflicted violence, must be equipped to address such traumatic events with their clients.
