What is race? What is racism? How do these concepts influence people’s perceptions of themselves and others? How has racism impacted the implementation of policies and procedures across our socio-economic systems?
This three-part training session explores these and other questions to understand the ways racism impacts socio-economic systems. Participants will learn about the origins of racism and engage in discussions about its four levels: internalized (within individuals), interpersonal (between individuals), institutional (within institutions), and structural (across institutions and society). They will review examples of each and evaluate how the practices of specific institutions – child welfare, education and criminal justice, to name a few – perpetuate disparate outcomes for impacted populations. Participants will also go on a historical journey from slavery and segregation to the violence, mass incarceration and voter suppression, to understand how internalized, interpersonal and institutional racism combine to create power structures that advantage some, while disadvantaging all others.
Through this historical perspective, participants will be challenged to evaluate the racist policies and practices that persist in their fields of work, and to start discussions about dismantling systems of oppression so that equity, inclusion and justice can prevail.
Parenting is challenging, particularly when you are parenting a child from a hard place. TBRI ® Empowering Principles will provide an in-depth look at ways to empower your children by meeting their unique physical needs and creating an environment in which they can succeed. This session includes information on sensory processing and practical tools and skills to help children regulate their emotions and behaviors. This multi-disciplinary training is designed to give caregivers, volunteers, and professionals who serve children and families the knowledge and practical skills they need to bring hope and healing.
Supervisors play a pivotal role in shaping a resilient and thriving workforce. Without the right tools and strategies, the demands of behavioral and community healthcare leadership can lead to burnout and high turnover, negatively impacting organizational success.
Join the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) and Relias on March 5 at 2 PM ET for an insightful webinar on how effective supervision can transform your organization. Learn actionable strategies and proven practices to empower supervisors, reduce burnout, and foster a more engaged and productive team.
Guided by CWLA’s 4 A’s framework, this webinar will focus on:
- Awareness: Recognizing the unique challenges supervisors face in their roles
- Acknowledgment: Viewing supervision as a space for growth and self-reflection
- Action: Implementing strategies to create a positive and collaborative work environment
- Accountability: Building shared responsibility to empower and support staff effectively
