Presented by The Gemini Group

The session is designed to create a common language and framework from which to engage in equity work both in and out of the therapeutic environment.  This session is designed to deeply educate all participants on the horrific and insidious racial history and how the ghosts of the past are foundational to, and still exist in, present-day policies, practices and procedures.   This is done from a focus on the institutional and systemic aspects of racism.  The definition, examples, and discussions address the intersectionality of identity, and allow participants to understand how to utilize an equity lens for any marginalized or underrepresented population. 

This session will also cover microaggressions and macro-microaggressions, understand micro-aggressions and their impact on the climate and culture of the workplace, understand macro-microaggressions and how the organizational culture or climate may be detrimentally impacting staff and clients, and how and when to respond to them. 

The goal is that participants leave the session knowing how to implement equity, not just “understand” it.
