This presentation will focus on a model for anti-racist transformation in public health institutions. It will present the rationale and approach of the Racial Justice Impact Assessment Tool that was co-created as part of the ARCC Towards Justice Project, a collaboration between researchers at the University of Michigan, the Washtenaw County Health Department, and Washtenaw County community members. The presentation will describe the process of co-creating the Racial Justice Impact Assessment and the results of piloting it at the health department. More broadly, the presentation will highlight ways that public health institutions can move towards anti-racist policies and practices.

This event is free, open to the public, and offers the option of 1 regular CE contact hour.

April 11, 2025 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET

We invite you to a community conversation around Grief and Pet Loss.

For the lives that are carving rooms in our hearts, we will explore what human-animal relationships each person holds towards species outside of their own, the significance of this form of love, and how it feels to process their inevitable demise. Various forms of grief will be touched upon. Keep in mind, that this will not be a support group, so it is not required to have endured a direct loss in order to attend.

Non-profits should engage in a diverse funding model. Grants often are a part of a diversified strategy. That said, many non-profits do not have the resources for a dedicated grant writer, therefore these responsibilities fall within other roles. This presentation allows social workers to begin to understand what type of grant funding is available and to learn the first steps required to initiate an application.
