1.5 CEUs Webinar: Are You Ready To Become An Anti-Racist Organization?, with Susan Yi-Millette, MSW & Taylor Hall, Ph.D

Wednesday, November 30 (12:00 - 1:30pm EST) 

Social workers have been complicit in facilitating racial injustice and are integral in both perpetuating and alleviating racial inequities. While this is fact, the Social Work Code of Ethics states that social workers should not practice, condone, facilitate, or collaborate with any form of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, political belief, religion, or mental or physical disability. It has become clear that White Supremacy Culture and Racial Injustice/Inequities have been occurring in our institutions, as well as within policies, practices, and procedures. This workshop presents a model of developing a Racial Justice Council within an organization to document evidence of racial/ethnic injustices and provide data-driven recommendations for change and racial justice. 

• Understand how racism manifests in your organization

• Help social workers develop skills to combat racial injustice in their organizations

• Create a sustainable plan within your organization alongside stakeholders at all systems levels to engage in antiracist practices
