Foster Care Training

With a focus on intentional movement through stages in a community care practice, this interactive workshop will begin with a personal reflection on the concept of liberation. We then shift to reckoning with our past, the stories we were told about us and others, and the histories we inherited from our ancestors. We will examine the ways that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders all hold legacies to confront and explore. We then move to releasing; a healing focused examination of internalized oppression and the impacts of harmful propaganda such as the Model Minority Stereotype. As we shift to closure, we will consider what AANHPI people wish to reclaim, and how to use these hopes to build solidarity between our own sub-cultural groups and other communities of color and marginalized groups.
