Abstract	The practice of using microaffirmations enables positive outcomes through small acts of active listening that encourage feelings of inclusion and shared cultural intimacy. Microaffirmations can be intersectional and are beneficial to a wide range of populations, including people of color, LGBTQIA + individuals, and people with disabilities. School counselors are trained and positioned to have knowledge of practical, evidence-based interventions to help school communities process the negative impacts of microaggressions and daily racism. This article describes the benefits of implementing microaffirmations in school settings and proposes a layered framework for implementation within school communities. We discuss recommendations for training faculty and staff on using microaffirmations and implications for school counselor practice. We also address the importance of using evidence-based school counseling practices as part of framework implementation. (As Provided).
