Understanding West African Clients: A Counselor’s Guide
Every story begins before arrival. Know the cultural context that shapes your client’s world.
Counseling becomes stronger when we understand the cultural roots of the people we support. This website lists the countries in West Africa, then breaks each country into three easy-to-explore categories: Family, Community, and Religion. Inside each category are curated articles and resources that provide insight into lived experiences, social values, and cultural norms. Use this toolkit to build cultural humility and create more informed, sensitive, and effective counseling relationships.
