Understanding Racism and Skin Color Bias
February 26, 2021
ZOOM Webinar
9:30 to 12:30
“If not now, when?” – Hillel the Elder
Do you have the courage to face the truth about American history? NASW/CT invites you to attend this highly-informative training providing participants with the knowledge, language, and tools to boldly face issues of race, racism, and skin color privilege. In a respectful environment, we will expose the socially-constructed meanings of skin color and race, and their role in upholding racism in the United States. Our work together will explore the ways systemic and personal racism affects us, our clients and the client-practitioner relationship, with practical solutions regarding how to address race, racial differences and racism in our work. Finally and most importantly, we will discuss solutions that empower us to debunk and dismantle structural and individual racism within our agencies and within ourselves.
*Trainer’s note: the trainer is a white-European woman who cannot and does not speak for people of color. In order for structural racism to end, white-Europeans must be actively engaged in its dismantling.
