Peran Konselor dalam Memfasilitasi Kesehatan Emosi Siswa Yang tumbuh di Lingkungan Multikultural

Abstract

This article examines the role of counselors in facilitating the emotional well-being of students growing up in multicultural environments, where cultural, linguistic, and family dynamic diversity demands adaptive skills and sensitivity. The background of this study stems from students' increasingly complex needs for emotional support, particularly when cultural identity influences how they express, manage, and understand emotions. The purpose of this article is to describe how counselors act as facilitators who are able to build inclusive relationships, identify culturally based emotional needs, and design contextually appropriate interventions. The discussion highlights counselors' multicultural competencies, culturally sensitive communication strategies, and the integration of emotional services through a collaborative approach in schools. Counselors are seen as playing a crucial role in creating a safe, responsive, and supportive environment that allows students to develop healthy emotional regulation.
