Accountability gets a bad rap and is seen as a punishing or a “calling out” rather than an act of radical love and generosity. If we saw accountability as a way to better ourselves and each other, would it come more naturally? In this historic moment of complex trauma that we are all living through, self-care can be a radical practice. The use of the word ‘radical’ is intentional because the act and embodiment of caring extends beyond the individual into the community. Join NASW-NYS with Dr. Laura Quiros to discuss how to positively disrupt systems of oppression through practicing empathic accountability as an act of self- and community-care.

Positive Disruption of Social Work Practice and Leadership from a Trauma Informed DEI lens
Hosted by: Laura Quiros, PhD, LMSW
Description: Incorporating Diversity and Inclusion in Trauma-Informed Social Work incorporates discussions of leadership, racism and oppression into a new understanding of how trauma and traumatic experience play out in leadership and organizational cultures. Chapters unpack ideas about the intersections of self, trauma and leadership, bridging the personal and professional, and illustrating the relationship between employees and leaders. Discussion questions and Reflections at the end of each chapter offer the opportunity for the reader to understand their own vulnerabilities as it relates to the subject matter. This book reconceptualizes cultural competency, trauma and leadership in the context of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and views theories and practices through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusivity.
