Abstract

This chapter will explore the critical intersection of cultural competence and trauma-informed gatekeeping and is centered on the recognition that a culturally competent lens is essential for navigating gatekeeping decisions ethically and effectively to support CITs from historically marginalized backgrounds. The chapter will integrate theoretical frameworks of cultural competence and trauma-informed practices with practical applications in counselor education gatekeeping processes. This chapter will then include a case study that presents a scenario that reflects potential challenges counselor educators might face during the gatekeeping process with CITs with diverse backgrounds (e.g., marginalized identities). Lastly, the chapter will explore how culturally competent gatekeeping ensures that counselor educators are equipped to assess CITs holistically, considering their cultural background, experiences, and strengths alongside their academic performance.
