Through this training, we will explore the skills needed to move equity from a buzzword into action in your relationships with consumers, co-workers, and your social network. Participants will learn three strategies that can be immediately applied to begin centering equity in their service delivery.

  • Describe their levels of privilege and marginalization in connection to their social identities 
  • Explain the origins of the race labels black and white in the United States of America 
  • Identify three tasks of the colonizer’s model
  • Discuss two goals of assimilation
  • List three examples of story starters to begin a discussion of family culture
