Rise ‘N’ Learn Webinar:
Social Workers as Frontline Workers in the Pandemic of Social and Racial Injustices
Date: Friday, October 7, 2022
Time: 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. (Central)
Professional development workshops are sponsored by a partnership between the Community Mental Health Board of Oak Park Township, Riveredge Hospital, and Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System.
Overview: This session will speak to the inequities that Black and Brown families experience in their local communities by the hands of the police. Specifically, this session will unpack Ms. Young’s personal experience of how these systems continue to fail people of color and what individuals in the helping profession can do to rally for change and support the families they work with. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own negative experiences or reflect on why they have never had a negative experience with police.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will have an increased awareness of the frequency of trauma related experiences associated with the police.
- Participants will identify the impact of working with survivors of trauma.
- Participants will examine coping skills and strategies to deal with vicarious trauma.
- Participants will increase knowledge and understanding of the importance of individual and collective voices needed for change (or needed to dismantle injustice).
