Clinical Responsibility in Racial Equity and Cultural Inclusivity: An Advanced Immersive Learning Experience

Are you wondering how to do more as a therapist around fighting racism and racial violence? I invite you to join Laura and I on a journey to learn how to divest from White supremacy in ourselves and in the clinical field.
You will:

  • Deepen your self-awareness around internalized white supremacy and how it shows up in your work
  • Learn ways to engage clients around internalized racism
  • Be able to identify White dominant clinical characteristics that are taught within our educational institutions and internship settings and antidotes to these behaviors
  • Learn how to respond to a micro-aggression or racist incident either from someone else or yourself
  • Hold ourselves more accountable around committing to anti-racism practices in our professional and personal lives

Alison Gerig, LCSW and Laura Hinds, MSW, LCSW of Hindsight Consulting

Hosted virtually by The Center for Professional Development at Bryn Mawr College.

Keynote Presentation by Alison Gerig, LCSW

Alison and Laura embodied and transmitted an integrity of feeling, vision, and action to which I aspire. The workshop challenged me in ways that were clear, grounded, and connected enough that I could hear what was being said, and it has motivated me to keep applying that insight right at the edge of where I’m most uncomfortable and scared.
