Description
Introduction to Diversity, Equity, Including & Belonging For Folks Who Identify as White: Finding Ourselves & Staying in Conversations about Race
Live Interactive Webinar - ZOOM - 4 CE’s - New York State Board Approved for Social Workers, Psychologists, Psychoanalysts and Mental Health Counselors
In this workshop we will discuss how to collaborate with clients in creating a culture for “How to Stay in Conversation About Race.”
Course Description:
Concepts such as the difference between Brave and Safe Spaces will be distinguished. Time will be set-aside for participants to reflect on how to explore and identify their own identity in terms of intersectionality of power, privilege and oppression. We will provide definitions for bias, prejudice, discrimination and racism in order to establish a shared language.
The 4 “I”s: Ideological, Institutional, Interpersonal & Internalized Oppression will also be reviewed. Participants will come to a better understanding of what white privilege looks and feels like, as well as its impact on others. Strategies for addressing the pitfalls or “being good,” versus “good enough” will be explored as well.
Finally, an individual Action Plan for participants to address institutional racism in their own unique way will be established.
