Career-Community Development: A Framework for Career Counseling and Capacity Building in Rural Communities
Cox, Robin S.; Espinoza, Adriana
Journal of Employment Counseling, v42 n4 p146 Dec 2005
The authors propose a framework for career counseling in rural communities that addresses the psychosocial and economic challenges of natural disasters and other catastrophic transitions. The career-community development framework expands the notion of "client" to include a community-as-client approach within a capacity building orientation to supporting workers in the wake of large-scale disruptions. Drawing on a case study of 2 communities recovering from a devastating forest fire, the authors outline an intervention approach that integrates elements from psychological-trauma theory, career-community capacity building models, and libratory educational practices. Implications of this framework for counselor training and practice are discussed.
