Description
This workshop is facilitated by a white, cisgendered woman and created under the framework that racism is an ongoing problem created by white people and thus it is particularly important for white social workers to find ways in which they can use their strengths, skills, and knowledge to engage in solution-focused action and practice to address racism. This workshop will include didactic knowledge share, large and small group discussion, and experiential practice activities. This workshop will evoke experiences, strengths, and struggles from actual practice settings from participants. It would benefit participants to have a working knowledge of motivational interviewing and basic motivational interviewing skills prior to participating in this workshop.
