Counseling Across Cultures (as stated under the blog heading) is kind of like an experimental blog for our course and unfortunately has a time limit.
However, until it lasts, we hope to provide you with valuable information that will come in handy some day when you counsel clients from different cultures.
In this blog (of approximately 10 posts), we will be focusing on three major topics as stated below.So keep an eye out for new (hopefully valuable and interesting) entries.
A Nation in Focus: Nigeria
W will be will be posting information about Nigerian culture, counseling in Nigeria and important social issues that are currently having intervention or need intervention. We hope that once this blog ends, you will have gained valuable information about Nigeria culture, enough to be able to confidently help a fellow brother or sister from Nigeria!
Cambodians in Malaysia
Several hundred thousands fled Cambodia after the fall of Khmer Rouge and became refugees. Today Malaysia is home to a small population of people from Cambodia who have settled in Khmer communities in certain areas of Malaysia. Under this topic, we will discuss multicultural counseling as it applies to Cambodian students and people living or entering Malaysia.
Bugis in Malaysia
The Bugis also known as Buginese were originally sea traders and warriors from Indonesia who first came to Malaysia in the 16th century. Around 24,000 Buginese are found in Malaysia today, settled in various parts of Johor, Selangor and Pulau Pinang. Under this topic, we will discuss a little about the culture, traditions and beliefs of the Bugis people in Malaysia.
