Waiting to Exhale: Impacts of Client Oppression

Social work practitioners are classified as health care providers and therefore responsible for delivering services to a diverse population. Practitioners with non-dominant social identities that have been historically marginalized and impacted by systemic, institutional, and interpersonal oppression can experience challenges when working with client systems that perpetuate oppression while receiving services. This course is designed to support practitioners in considering challenging situations and potential strategies to engage in to deliver effective services while also practicing self-care.
