Increasing Access to Services in Private Practice
September 30, 2021 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
This webinar will explore the specific areas of design and influence that will allow a private practice to become increasingly accessible and informed by the values of social justice. The workshop will address a variety of concerns expressed by marginalized groups when seeking mental health care. We will also define the goals of mental healthcare and availability of well-being services are often limited by SES and access to services. Case studies will illustrate examples of private practice outreach and service delivery that increases response to community need.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.

Undoing Racism Workshop Meeting
September 30, 2021 - 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 on the last Thursday of every month from 12-2pm (with some exceptions). All members of our school community are invited to attend.
A Zoom link will be sent out the day of the event to all those who RSVP.
