“If not now, when?” – Hillel the Elder

There is no better time than the present day to understand racism and its toxic effects on all of us, regardless of our skin color. But we cannot confront what we don't know how to discuss or educate with information we don’t have. This honest, informative training provides participants with the knowledge, language, and tools to boldly and productively address issues of race, racism, and skin color privilege. In a respectful, safe environment, we will have brave conversations about the socially-constructed meanings of skin color and race, and the resulting impact of racism in the United States from its founding to the present day. Finally, and most importantly, we will work together to find solutions that will empower us to debunk and dismantle structural and individual racism. 

*Trainer’s note: I am a white-European woman who cannot and does not speak for people of color. This training is targeted primarily to other white-Europeans who want a deeper understanding of race and racism without asking our friends or colleagues of color to educate us. That being said, anyone is welcome to attend.

Presented by Mara Gottlieb, PhD, LMSW , President of Talking Changes, LLC, which offers training, consulting, and supervision services to individuals, groups, and agencies in Connecticut and New York. An experienced and authentic communicator, Mara regularly presents for NASW/CT and the Connecticut Women’s Consortium. For more information, please go to http://www.talkingchanges.com
