This workshop aims to provide participants with a brief understanding of how structural racism operates and equip them with practical strategies for effecting positive change. This training will explore how institutional biases, systemic inequalities, and social determinants of health contribute to racial disparities. Participants will be empowered to implement tangible changes, foster inclusive environments, and advocate for racial justice within their communities. 

 

Participants will:

  • Recognize and articulate examples of structural racism. 
  • Learn practical strategies to mitigate biases within their organizations.
  • Understand structural competency and learn how to apply this framework in their interactions with clients, patients, or community members to address the root causes of health disparities.
  • Explore how intersecting identities (e.g., race, gender, class) compound experiences of discrimination and marginalization and develop strategies to address these complexities in their work.


Who should attend: All staff of family resource centers (FRCs), Child Abuse Prevention Councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.
