Webinar:
“We know how to be racist. We know how to pretend to be not racist. Now let’s know how to be antiracist” (Kandi, 2019, p. 11).
Why did it take the horrific death of George Floyd and related events for black communities to suddenly be heard and seen, to be taken seriously, and for their mental health needs to be considered? For many of us, myself included, our years of professional training provided little or no attention to the realities and challenges that face black communities. We learn to be a “pretty good white therapist” (Kenneth V. Hardy) but little or nothing about how to clinically work with a racial lens, nor how to implement antiracist interventions when working with a diverse population.
This workshop is intended to help begin addressing gaps, and the lack of training about racial issues for mental health professionals. Black Lives DO MATTER, and it is not a movement, it is a lived reality. When I wake up in the morning, I am still Black.
In this workshop, we will tap into the following:
- Understand the effect of our unconscious racist biases
- Explore the impact of racial issues on mental health
- Learn to use interventions that are culturally appropriate for better psychosocial assessment and interventions
- Transform our vocabulary from “I AM NOT RACIST” to “I AM AN ANTIRACIST ALLY.”
Thank you for wanting to be part of the change.
Please note that this is not a recorded event, please contact us if you can no longer attend.
