“…Another sector within the student body that has been affected is that of international students. Many of them were distressed due to discrimination in addition to the aforementioned factors [35]. More specifically, discrimination towards students with Asian traits increased very significantly in some countries such as the United States, among other causes, due to the media [36].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every area of our lives. It meant a break from our lifestyles, transforming everything from face-to-face to online. Among the places where this situation has become more evident are primary schools, secondary schools, and universities, which have had to adopt online teaching in its entirety. Faced with this situation, the work of the educational counsellors was essential to coordinate the centre with the families and to enable students to follow the classes in the best way possible. The objective of this study is to analyse the scientific literature about online educational guidance, with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this, a scoping review inspired by the PRISMA model was done. A total of 42 articles were studied. The main results show that many counsellors were at a disadvantage and in a very stressful situation, as they did not have the necessary digital training. On the other hand, this situation has been the first contact for many counsellors with the use of ICT within their profession and in an unexpected situation, without time for training or enough preparation.

This study provided a systemic review of the content of 50 behavioral and social science studies investigating enactment and outcomes of anti-Asian stigma related to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) published in the final quarter of 2020 and during 2021. Based on a systematic search of several databases in December of 2021, 500 studies describing the impact of COVID-related stigma on Asian Americans were identified. From this group, 50 studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed focusing on health and social consequences of stigma. The studies were described by five stigma themes: the enactment of stigma, health consequences of stigma, stigma in the social media, Asian American stigma in education, and policy and political consequences of anti-Asian stigma. The studies appeared in a wide range of scholarly journals using several methodologies. While some studies exclusively focused on health impacts of stigma, all considered how Asian Americans have been scapegoated for COVID-19. Spread of blame and digital stigma on the social media has been particularly damaging to psychological well-being. Discussion of these studies provided an informative systemic overview for how scholars from various disciplines have investigated the antecedents and possible mechanisms leading to anti-Asian hate. This study serves as a baseline for other scholars who want to build on this body of research in future studies as Omicron and other potential future variants of COVID unfold.

“…These experiences of COVID-19 racism have deleterious effects on the psychological health and life satisfaction of Asian Americans (Litam & Oh, 2020). To this end, counselors might help AAPI clients explore how government policies affect their pandemic experience and identify strategies to mitigate the effects of COVID-19related racial discrimination (Anandavalli et al, 2020). Finally, it is vital for marginalized clients to develop self-efficacy and skills to engage in sociopolitical actions that address the existing inequities (Hope & Jagers, 2014).…”

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID‐19) has highlighted social disparities in the United States. This article examines how preexisting racial and ethnic disparities, exacerbated by COVID‐19, have negatively affected communities of color that tend to be overrepresented in lower socioeconomic groups, have limited access to health care and education, have an undocumented status, and work in jobs considered “essential.” Counselors are encouraged to use creative strategies to design and facilitate telecounseling and reduced‐ or no‐cost workshops in which attendees can participate safely. Specific cultural considerations, aspects of crisis management, and creative interventions that can be used with clients of color at an appropriate social distance are discussed. Counselors can also instill hope in their clients by promoting sociopolitical development. As the impact of COVID‐19 will be felt for years, it is crucial that counselors be prepared to address the needs of those disproportionately affected.
