An invitation to dialogue for therapists working with clients who differ from them.
Recently our country has been awakened to the systemic nature of racism, and the complicit part that well-meaning people have played.
Join us for a day of deep reflection and discussion in a safe atmosphere to explore the parts of us that have previously been too risky to explore.
This workshop uses story-telling, experiential exercises, videos, small group exploration and large group discussion to explore themes of racism, prejudice, privilege and fear as they pertain to the therapy setting.
