This journal article explores the application of multicultural counseling for students who experience identity-based intolerance and discrimination in school settings. Such experiences often affect students’ psychological well-being, self-esteem, and their ability to grow academically and socially. Multicultural counseling is understood as an approach that places cultural, religious, ethnic, gender, and other personal identity backgrounds at the center of the recovery process. This study highlights the role of counselors in building safe and empathetic relationships, understanding students’ identity dynamics, and applying counseling techniques that align with their lived experiences. The article also emphasizes the importance of collaboration among counselors, teachers, and school administrators in creating an inclusive environment. These efforts include developing anti-discrimination policies, strengthening diversity education, and establishing ongoing support mechanisms. Through a holistic approach, multicultural counseling not only helps students recover from the impact of discrimination but also supports the creation of a school culture that is fair and respectful of differences. This article is intended to serve as a reference for educators and school counselors in designing culturally responsive interventions that address the needs of students affected by intolerance.

This study aims to analyze and synthesize findings from various scientific literature on the implementation of multicultural counseling as an effective intervention in addressing language discrimination conflicts in school environments. Language discrimination (linguisticism) is a social justice issue that seriously impacts the psychological well-being and academic outcomes of minority students. Unfair treatment of someone based on their language is not only a social issue but can also cause students to feel sad and stressed, and can affect their grades or academic achievement. The research method used was a Systematic Literature Review, which focused on an in-depth analysis of the concept of multicultural competence and the role of counselor advocacy in a linguistic context.  The results of this study indicate that culturally respectful counseling can be an effective method to address language discrimination, by championing changes in the school system and making counselors more sensitive to cultural differences. This study concludes that the implementation of multicultural counseling is an effective way to create a fair learning environment and respect linguistic diversity.
