Please upload your responses to the following prompts in an essay format adhering to these guidelines: • 2 – 3 pages in length responding to all prompts • Double-spaced • Times New Roman font type • 12-pt font size Essay Prompts 1. Why would you like to become a Clinical Mental Health Counselor; what contribution would you like to make to the clinical mental health profession? 2.

Provide an example of a professional job experience that was challenged by your supervisor or a colleague.

An individual's social identity includes but is not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual or affectional orientation, age, religion/spirituality, disability/different ability, language, and political or sociopolitical affiliation. This makes social identity unique to each individual – no two individuals will have the exact same social identity.
