Pages 1017-1026 | Received 28 Dec 2021, Accepted 01 Feb 2022, Published online: 10 Feb 2022
 

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to provide a new social justice conceptual framework in school counselling. Although principles of social justice have been discussed in the counselling field, more discussion on the principles is needed to help school counsellors improve their counselling services for all students. This comprehensive literature review suggests eight social justice principles: (1) Constant self-examination, (2) appreciating students’ worldviews and life experiences, (3) focus on strengths, (4) liberatory consciousness, (5) sharing power (6) reciprocal collaboration, (7) taking action, and (8) leaving students with tools. Challenges to implementing these principles are discussed and recommendations for school counsellors are provided.
