Event Recording 2022 Virtual Winkelman Lecture Part II The Future of LGBTQ+ Caregiving: Visibility and TransformationAngela K. Perone, PhD, JD, MSW, MA, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellow, National Academy of Medicine, Fellow, U.S. Senate
The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted and underscored caregiving issues across the globe. Many communities have adapted to new circumstances that require new approaches to caregiving. LGBTQ+ communities are no different. However, with a rich and unique history of caregiving from families of choice, LGBTQ+ communities offer important insights for caregiving for a larger population. To understand these possibilities, this discussion will provide a brief historical overview of LGBTQ+ caregiving, discuss key issues and hot topics, and conclude with a vision for the future.
Keynote SpeakerAngela (Angie) K. Perone, PhD, JD, MSW, MA is currently a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellow through the National Academy of Medicine and currently serving as a staff member in the U.S. Senate. Upon completing this fellowship, Perone will join the faculty at the University of California Berkeley School of Social Welfare where she will also lead its Center for the Advanced Study of Aging Services. Perone is a licensed attorney and interdisciplinary scholar. Her research focuses on the intersection of law and social services with a particular focus on healthy and equitable aging, caregiving, and rights construction among health and social service providers. Perone previously served as a civil rights attorney. During this time she engaged in trial and appellate advocacy, policy, and education on racial justice, health, and caregiving issues and oversaw a national LGBTQ+ Elder Law Program. She subsequently served as the founding Executive Director of SAGE Metro Detroit where she grew its annual budget from under $50,000 to over $750,000 in five years and helped to provide new services for LGBTQ+ older adults in Michigan. While in Michigan, she was appointed to serve two terms on Michigan's State Advisory Council on Aging.

Sexual Grief and The Hero's Journey
February 18, 2022 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Pain and memories from sexual grief ambush clients and make them feel as if they have been taken hostage. Every time the surge of emotions arrives on the scene, the hostage feels exposed and hopeless. Sexual grief is often confused with sexual trauma, and though they work in tandem, they are separate. Learn to distinguish between the story of sexual trauma and the effect of grief on those stories. The silences get broken and the hostage gets released.
The Hero's Journey will be used to show a systematic approach to breaking through the status quo of the dark night of the soul that sexual grief exposes. The self needs a base of empathy, empowerment and a strategy that also includes hostage negotiating techniques to face the non-linear aspect of sexual grief. Everyone has a warning label, the warning label portrays self-protection and what needs to be dealt with while in the depths of the cave.Registration for this course is closed.

Undoing Racism Workgroup
February 24, 2022 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Undoing Racism is a community collective of students, staff, and faculty in the School of Social Work dedicated to fighting white supremacy at the individual, school, and structural levels.This workgroup was established in 2019 after students, staff, and faculty took part in the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond Undoing Racism© workshops. Since then, the Undoing Racism workgroup has been working to implement the People’s Institute anti-racist community organizing model – recognizing that community organizing within our school is critical to move toward an anti-racist and anti-oppressive program to bring along all members of the community.
The Undoing Racism workgroup also emphasizes the role that white members of our community must take on to dismantle and undo white supremacist structures that benefit and maintain power for white people. Our work has largely been focused on building collective community – a fundamental step in the People’s Institute organizing model. Our dialogue and strategic planning to advance towards an anti-racist and anti-oppressive program and school community must begin with building relationships and strengthening community bonds to engage in internal and external anti-racism work.
Meetings are held monthly on the last Thursday of the month from 12-2pm. All members of our school community are invited to attend.
Upcoming Meetings:
March 24, 2022
