Dr. Connie T. Jones, Ph.D., LPCA, LCAS (Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist), NCC, ACS is a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University's (Virginia Tech), Counselor Education and Supervision program. She is currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Counseling and Educational Development at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). Dr. Jones is the President of the American Counseling Association (ACA) division of the International Association of Addictions and Offender Counselors (IAAOC). Her background is in clinical mental health and addictions counseling. Dr. Jones has worked with clients who have been diagnosed with substance use disorders, long-term mental illness, offenders, adolescents, and older adults. Her primary focus of scholarship concerns addictions, broaching, multiculturalism, and counseling with offenders - particularly those with substance use and reentry issues. She also is an advocate for increasing and valuing diversity in counselor education. In addition, she was the recipient of the International Chi Sigma Iota 2018 Outstanding Research Award for her research and article titled, “Broaching behaviors of licensed professional counselors: A qualitative inquiry” in the Journal of Addictions and Offender Counseling. Dr. Jones is a member of the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development, the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision, and the North Carolina Counseling Association.
Session Summary: Oftentimes, when treating clients with substance use disorders many counselors solely focus on the addiction without considering the person holistically. Sociocultural identities and the intersectionality of these identities can impact the patterns of use, substance of choice, and treatment. Broaching multicultural considerations is essential to all counseling relationships and is especially vital when working with the substance use disorder population. Broaching is a counseling strategy that can be used to cultivate intercultural counseling relationships. In this session, attendees will gain insight into the benefits of broaching within the counseling relationship, and learn strategies to incorporate broaching behavior into their work with clients diagnosed with a substance use disorder.
