We can no longer ignore the data and facts that structural racism exists today within our formal systems. These Systems (SSA, JPD, MH, ED) have historically been biased against communities of color resulting in disparate treatment and disproportionality of those who they are supposed to serve. The first step to fixing our systems begins with you recognizing your role in serving our communities within a formal system where structural racism exists.
Families are not one-dimensional, but multi-dimensional. When working with these communities, professionals must have a historical understanding and appreciation for what shapes the values, traditions, culture and mindset of these families and communities, so they are better educated on how to effectively engage and build trust.
