Radical Self & Collective Care for Social Justice
Topic Description:
This special topics course is designed for both undergraduate students (Community Action and Social Change Major or Minor) and graduate MSW students to expand their understanding of self and collective care as critical tools for social justice work. Students will practice the skills of self-awareness, self-regulation, stress management, self-compassion, empathy, and mindful communication to cultivate well-being and protect against burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma. They will explore radical self and collective care through a systems lens to develop tools for promoting well-being on the personal, interpersonal, organizational, and societal levels.
This course exposes students to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and anti-capitalist frameworks of self and collective care and orients students toward an embodiment of healing justice. It is designed to prepare students to be healthy, effective, and sustainable agents of change.
