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
