Foster Care Training

Virtual Instructor Led Training

This workshop is designed to provide participants with foundational tools for exploring conversations around cultural identity and privilege to promote equity within child-welfare systems. This group will be meeting in support of becoming culturally responsive professionals that aligns with overall efforts to participate in racial equity changes within child welfare systems. Participants will be provided space to explore not only their own cultural lenses from a position of racial privilege, but also the power inherent in this identity and the impact it has interpersonally and professionally through various tasks of the privileged.

Within this context, participants will focus on learning and practicing inquiry that will support deepening an understanding of racial privilege, as well as garner a greater fluency of how to talk about race and manage affect during cross-racial dialogue. Participants will also be educated around the impact of white supremacy and ways in which they can become more attuned to the impacts and intersectionality of privilege and oppression.
