Abstract

Counselors have the ethical responsibility to meet the mental health needs of refugees who are forced to leave their home countries. This study examined factors influencing the self-efficacy of counselors (N = 98) working with refugees. The results revealed a relationship between trauma training and secondary traumatic stress and counselor self-efficacy. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.
