Join us for a facilitated small group discussion a Join us for a facilitated small group discussion about allyship. This conversation is an opportunity for self-reflection, training on how each of us can improve our anti-racism lens, as well as preparation on how to have these conversations in life and practice.⁠
⁠
Are you working to learn about the challenges that underrepresented groups face, both now and throughout history? And just as important, are you doing so without leaning on someone from one of those groups to help you?  Just as important, Are you doing so without leaning on someone from one of those groups to help you? Do you get defensive when another student or coworker calls you out?⁠
⁠
For BIPGM social workers: Do you want white people using privilege to support you? Why or why not? How? For white participants: Are you willing to Use Your Privilege to Help Others? ⁠
⁠
*BIPGM = Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority⁠
⁠
Broader systemic change within the profession is not possible unless individual social workers do the work to confront, examine, and unlearn the racism they perpetuate. The Racial Justice Forum aims to provide a deeper understanding of social justice issues for participating social workers as well as knowledge about the clients we work with through open discussion in a safe forum. This initiative was created to promote change within ourselves and our communities, with the ultimate goal of making inclusiveness a habit practiced by the profession as a whole.⁠

As Social Workers, we are called to reform, disman As Social Workers, we are called to reform, dismantle or abolish racist and oppressive systems we work within and beside. Part of this dismantling must include a critical analysis of the ways in which racism is perpetuated within the profession. ⁠
⁠
Utilizing concepts from Narrative Theory and Critical Race Theory, presenter Cecily Mitchell-Harper will engage in a critical analysis of Social Work history, identifying the stories and narratives that are told and the ones that are not told. This program will describe mindsets and strategies that enable participants to engage in Social Work practice that fully embodies the core values of the profession. ⁠

Today is the last day to provide comments on the p Today is the last day to provide comments on the proposed changes to mental health practitioners’ diagnostic privileges!⁠
⁠
Social workers understand the need to add mental health providers in the field who can diagnose at this time. However, it is essential that the Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Psychoanalysts be comparable in licensing structure, education, supervised experience, and previous experience exemptions to Licensed Clinical Social Workers. The standard set by clinical social workers ensures the safety of the public when embarking on something as serious and life changing as diagnosing a mental health condition. The most vulnerable citizens of New York will pay the price if the existing standards for diagnosis are not upheld. ⁠

How do you find and sustain joy in social work act How do you find and sustain joy in social work activism, if at all? How do you stay true to your values in activism? How do you stay connected with the community in the ups and downs of an activist movement? How do you keep the momentum going, when the “moment” is over? What is the role of self-care in finding and sustaining joy in social work activism?⁠
