Anti-Racism Study Group: The Ethics of Culturally Responsive Practice
What a profound time we find ourselves in. The impact of systemic racism on individuals, families, work teams and organizations has become glaringly visible; and the need for culturally responsive mental health professionals is now unquestionable.
My colleague Shauna Adams, LCSW and I have developed a 4 session Anti-racism Study Group which will offer you an opportunity to explore the racialized stories that shape your personal perspectives and your professional practice. Together we will create an authentic, meaningful and brave space to address the trauma, ethical dilemmas and possibilities for growth in our clinical work.
Next session will begin Winter 2022
Groups will meet from 8:00-10:00am on Wednesdays for 4 sessions
February 2nd and 16th and
March 2nd and 16th
Cost: $375 for the series. 10 CEUs ( 3 for ethics). Groups will be capped at the first 20 registrants.

If your agency is interested in hosting the series for employees, we are happy to talk with you about scheduling.
What Past Participants Have to Say
“As group leaders they share a common profession as social workers and graduate level instructors, but the group is especially enhanced by what each brings from the different life experiences of an African American feminist/artist/activist and a white woman with a background of privilege and a clear commitment to staying in this work with a high level of humbleness and accountability. The fact that they have worked together for over twenty years and have a unique depth of friendship and connection has brought another wonderful dimension to the group.”
“Participating in the anti-racist group has allowed me a deeper dive into understanding how I embody white supremist attitudes, without ever consciously agreeing to it. White supremacy entitlement has been passed to me by previous generations and though systemic racist practices around me, and this group is giving me a chance to safely face what is true about that, and to work on changing that in myself.”
“This has been the richest continuing ed opportunity I’ve ever taken part in. I’m so grateful to Lisa and Shauna for their guidance and teaching along this journey.”
“The group has helped me challenge my ideas and beliefs about white supremacy, racism and my role in it all in ways I couldn’t do on my own or by simply reading a book. It helped me do it in a community of caring clinicians, whose example really helped me push beyond my own mental barriers in order to widen my understanding. Thank you Lisa and Shauna for such an informed, thorough and heart-felt group.”
