Broaching as Destigmatizing Practice for Anti‐Asian Oppression: An Application of the Multidimensional Model of Broaching Behavior

ABSTRACT Longstanding violence against Asians serves as an urgent reminder for counselors to engage in culturally responsive counseling. Despite the uptick of mental health research associated with Asian communities, aggregated trends on counseling and mental health services with Asians overlook distinct inequities and historical implications. Leveraging the Multidimensional Model of Broaching Behavior, this conceptual article reframes broaching as a culturally responsive practice that references historical context and sociopolitical factors and facilitates empowerment for Asians.
