  Janis J. Powers, India Bryce, Jiwon Kim, Richard Hobbs The purpose of this chapter is to provide rationale, context, and a model for merging gatekeeping and trauma-informed practice in a counselor education program. Many counselors are motivated to enter this profession by their own childhood traumas and adverse experience, and this can greatly influence their education trajectory. Therefore, when using a trauma-informed model as a foundation, these seemingly disparate approaches of gatekeeping and trauma-informed approaches merge well to benefit the counseling students, the counseling education program, and the profession of counseling. Guidance for these practices comes through the use of ARCCH, a multisystemic model of resilience that is trauma-informed and grounded in cultural awareness. The model will be explained, and tools from it will be included. Examples from a university employing these practices will elucidate how the ARCCH model helped guide the gatekeeping process to build strengths and uncover areas in need of support., p. 81-114 2024
