Abstract

As counselors and educators, you may have witnessed an increase in self-identified White allies. But what makes a White ally? How do we describe allyship, and how can we talk about White allyship identity with clients and students? We offer insights gained during our development of a White ally identity instrument. Ethical use of these types of instruments will be discussed as well as practical uses when working with individuals developing their own ally identities
