Abstract
Transgender and gender-expansive (T/GE) youth, who are Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC), are at the crux of multiple marginalized identities and experience multiple forms of marginalization stress. Microaggressions are particularly potent, often covert acts of oppression that activate the stress response, and occur both in the counseling environment and in the counselor education classroom. Counselors-in-training (CIT) may benefit from a structured case conceptualization framework that integrates antioppressive pedagogy (AOP) with an approach to case formulation that is concrete and accessible to CITs. This teaching brief provides counselor educators with an antioppressive case conceptualization framework (ACCF) for use during fieldwork. Readers are also provided with classroom strategies to model antioppressive practices and address microaggressions in the classroom.
