Your team needs anti-racism training and diversity education. But, where do you start?

Wondering how to infuse a more anti-racist lens to your therapy practice or local community? Especially given all that has been revealed about the anti-blackness culture and history of white supremacy in this country? Let's get started.

Who needs this kind of anti-racism training and diversity education consultation? It's simple. Everyone.

• ​all-white practices
• "diverse" practices
• practices treating BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) clients
• lack of awareness of the intersectionality of identities
• those in affluent areas
• primarily self pay practices
• primarily insurance based practices
• practices that don't have clinicians that represent their local community
• practices that don't talk about race and privilege
• tendency to be white saviors
• challenges around hiring BIPOC clinicians
• limited exploration of one's racial identity
• practices based on feminist theory

• practices that are afraid to say Black Lives Matter
• clinicians who don't know how to answer the comment "All lives matter"
• practices based on psychodynamic or psychoanalytic theory
• practices based on CBT or DBT
• lack of awareness of how the model minority myth is hurting asian people and is based on anti-black culture
• tend to take a neutral stance towards the everyday expressions of oppression
• honoring multiple truths in the therapy room and doing power analysis
• challenges partnering with diverse groups in your area
• practices with difficulty retaining BIPOC clinicians and/or clients
