- Abstract
Behavior analysts have recently increased efforts toward providing culturally responsive clinical practice. Although the emphasis on culturally responsive practices when providing behavior analytic services to clients is important, it is also relevant when training and mentoring future behavior analysts. Culturally responsive mentorship practices can have a great impact on the success and growth of students in behavior analysis, especially those from historically marginalized groups (HMGs). The current study summarizes a survey of 44 faculty providing mentorship in Verified Course Sequences (VCSs) and accredited behavior-analytic programs. The survey identified the faculty's reported (a) skill level, importance, and confidence in culturally responsive mentorship, (b) training in culturally responsive mentorship, and (c) current and desired participation in various activities related to recruitment, retention, wellness, and persistence of students from historically marginalized groups (HMGs). Results of the survey and implications for using culturally responsive practices while mentoring future behavior analysts from HMGs are discussed.
