Virtual U: Do They Call It Praying:
May 4, 2022, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
via Zoom
We see people performing what seems to be devotional acts, and we may wonder: do they call it “praying”? It’s not a simple question to answer. Our focus in this session is to offer you our virtual audience, the cosmologies that overlap in the multifaith neighborhood and our neighbors’ understanding of and names for the Ultimate. Take a multi-religious illustrated tour of devotional acts of prayer, supplication, meditation, veneration, blessing, chanting, puja, arthi, jashan, yoga, qigong, and other possibilities.

Faith in the Neighborhood Series: Clothing, Cuisine, Clocks and Calendars
May 18, 2022, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
via Zoom
Religions are, by nature, “boundary-setters”. In a multifaith neighborhood, we’ll find many overlapping (or crisscrossing) boundaries – territorial, bodily, and temporal. This session takes the audience on a tour of the clothing, diet, calendars and time that are a boundary for multifaith conversations and connections.

NASW/CT is offering
Queer Foundations and Gender Skills Webinar
April 28, 2022, 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
via Zoom
This presentation aims to provide social workers with the language of LGBTQIA+ identity and how to implement it in clinical practice utilizing a foundation in Queer Theory. Participants will learn the definitions and appropriate use of terminology such as gay, bisexual, pansexual, Queer (as a reclaimed word), asexual, aromantic, intersex, nonbinary, and genderqueer. While it is important to normalize LGBTQIA+ identities in clients we work with, informed practice necessitates additional skills and knowledge not covered by social work graduate programs. This workshop will fill in the gaps for students as well as for those in the field by providing an updated perspective. Participants will be given space to ask questions in order to foster honest conversation about a topic that may still be taboo for some. They will gain skills to make their own practice more inclusive in order to support clients in various stages of the identity development process.
Sarah Dottor, LMSW (they/them/theirs) is a graduate of the UConn School of Social Work and specializes in individual and group clinical practice. Their therapeutic work is founded in a strengths-based and psychodynamic approach with clients, as well as a focus on facilitating spaces of honest conversation for mental health practitioners in best practices for serving the LGBTQIA+ community. Sarah is currently working for Columbia University coordinating macro DEI efforts.
