Abstract

Interdisciplinary research has exponentially developed in response to federal funding opportunities, more complex needs in the community, and program expansion within schools. Given the counseling profession’s unique qualities, counselor education and supervision researchers can elicit robust platforms to cement counselors as key collaborators in community-based interventions, public health initiatives, and large-scale programs. Bringing together a collection of five articles, this special issue focuses on interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary collaborations in counselor education and supervision.

Public Significance Statement

This special issue focuses primarily on interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary collaborations that enhance the development, training, and supervision of counselors. Interdisciplinary training, practice, and research in counseling could sustain a greater impact on community needs.
