dc.description.abstractThis capstone project proposes using narrative therapy (NT) as a psychotherapeutic modality to support ethnic identity development and well-being among ethnic minority adolescents and adults in Canada. Framed within an anti-oppressive and multicultural context, the paper highlights the positive relationship between ethnic identity and well-being, particularly in youth populations, before outlining Phinney's stage theory of ethnic identity development. The work summarizes NT as a counselling approach before proposing a workshop that bridges theory and practice, offering practical, culturally resonant NT interventions tailored to diverse client needs. The project also addresses ethical considerations, potential limitations, and the importance of therapist-client collaboration in fostering empowerment, healing, and social change.
