Systemic Racism and Disparities: Strategies for Accountability and Processes for Repair

A four part Webinar Series. Participants are invited to join us for all 4 sessions! 

Each session offers 1.0 CE for Psychologists and 1.0 CEU for Counselors, Social Workers and LMFTs. 

Can't attend the live sessions? All sessions will be available for viewing via recording and recieving CEs/CEUs 

This one-hour, four part series will address how systemic racism has contributed significantly to disparities in health and mental health for BIPOC communities. These historical inequities in mental health can also be seen in educational institutions.  Current and future education as well as treatment strategies committed to social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion will be provided.

The goals of this series are to:

a) more fully understand ways systemic racism has a direct impact on disparities in health and mental health for cultural and ethnic communities as well as BIPOC individually,

b) to recognize strategies clinically as well as educationally leading to greater equity, diversity and inclusion in clinical practice for mental wellness.

 


 

Session 1: Systemic Racism with Historical Inequities: Psychological Practice and Mental Health Treatment

Wednesday, January 12, 2022

12pm-1pm PST/2pm-3pm CT/3pm-4pm ET

Systemic racism continues to have negative impacts on ethnic and racial communities including BIPOC.  Physical as well as mental health experts point to adverse conditions contributing to negative life outcomes. In order to address mental wellness providers must understand the pandemic of racism as it contributes to historical inequities.  Such inequities are seen in justice systems, health, education, economic and social systems and more. The implications and ramifications for psychological practice and mental health care will be examined.  


 

Session 2: Systemic Racism with Historical Inequities: Psychology Education and Mental Health Treatment

Wednesday, February 9, 2022 

12pm-1pm PST/2pm-3pm CT/3pm-4pm ET

The pandemic of racism is evident in microaggressions, assaults, and an array of racial traumas. In addition to managing current stressors, intergenerational trauma also has an impact on mental wellness. The field of psychology, while wanting to contribute to an understanding of “normality”, has also sometimes played a role in viewing those as socially marginalized in negatives ways.  This can be seen in psychology education and subsequent mental health treatment. An examination of some of the impacts within psychological institutions will be presented along with initiatives to transform them.


 

Session 3: Structural Racism with Consequential Inequities: Clinical Implications and Ramifications

Wednesday, March 9, 2022

12pm-1pm PST/2pm-3pm CT/3pm-4pm ET

The deleterious impact of racism as well as other social ‘isms must be understood clinically. Adverse experiences, even those experienced in early childhood, may have consequences throughout the lifespan in multiple contexts.  An authentic therapeutic relationship means viewing clients fully including personal sources of survivance, strengths, recovery and resilience.  Following examples of cultural humility in practice there will be discussion among participants.  Generating an initial list of recommendations will conclude this session.


 

Session 4: Structural Racism with Sequential, Embedded Inequities: Clinical and Educational Commitments

Wednesday, April 13, 2022

12pm-1pm PST/2pm-3pm CT/3pm-4pm ET

In order to address structural racism and historical inequities, clients including those ethnic and racially diverse or BIPOC must be deeply understood. Cultural competence as well as cultural humility must be practiced along with ongoing education and accountability. The presenter will dynamically present these core practice concepts as well as models contributing to social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion with an emphasis on the self-of-the –therapist. Further generating a list of recommendations will conclude this brief four-part series.
