Resumo

Despite efforts by counselors, psychologists, and educators to improve the educational attainment and experiences of socially marginalized students, there continues to be significant disparity for culturally diverse and lower income students. Integrating the frameworks of traumatic stress and educational hegemony, the authors explore barriers to optimal academic and psychological functioning for culturally diverse students. The authors present a model and provide a case example that illustrates sources of traumatic stress in a school setting and symptoms of traumatic stress among school-aged children. The authors provide recommendations for counseling and advocacy practices that can reduce educational hegemony and promote wellness and high achievement among socially marginalized students.
