Ethics in anti-oppressive counselling: Promising practices

Rooted in the counselling profession but relevant to all helping roles, this document explores what it means to offer care in oppressive systems while still striving for liberation. Drawing on abolitionist thought and community-driven models of support, it provides practitioners with a grounding framework for navigating moral distress, resisting carceral logics, and imagining more just, sustainable ways of caring for one another.
