dc.description.abstractThrough a comprehensive literature review, this capstone addresses the correlation between workplace gendered racism (WGR), anxiety/depression symptoms, and counselling strategies to support engagement coping among Black women who experience WGR (WGR-BW). The literature on WGR-BW has shown a correlation between WGR and heightened symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as an increase in the use of disengagement coping mechanisms. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is discussed as a helpful modality for supporting WGR-BW, when culturally adapted. Culturally adapting CBT aids counsellors in challenging Black women's self-blame/criticism and promoting engagement coping. The recommendations for future research emphasize the need for Canadian-specific data, diverse demographic representation, and the integration of intersectional self-report measures. The capstone concludes with a reflective exploration of personal growth and perspective shifts, highlighting the integration of the Critical Race Theory (CRT) framework into counselling practice. Overall, this capstone project equips counsellors to provide more culturally competent and affirming support for WGR-BW, fostering safe therapeutic spaces and promoting engagement coping strategies.
