Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist provides us with a transformative concept of how to think about racism in a new and engaging way. In this discussion group, we will ask questions that invite us all to grapple with these concepts collaboratively with other psychotherapists, and find ways to integrate his ideas into our professional lives.

Dr. Kendi’s comparisons of racism and antiracism provide a clear guideline of where we need to situate ourselves in order to be engaged and active citizens. We will draw on other writers and writings to assist us in understanding our roles and responsibilities as mental health professionals. What does it mean to be an antiracist professional in the mental health field?

Learn more about Dr. Ibram X. Kendi here.

At the completion of the experience, participants will be able to:

1. Define what distinguishes an antiracist professional in the mental health field.
2. Integrate their deepened knowledge of how systemic racism impacts mental health into their therapy practice.

Got a case that's bothering you? Have you found yourself pondering an ethical dilemma? Join us for the Ethics Roundtable.  

If you are a RECAMFT member, come and discuss it with colleagues in a confidential setting, and set your mind at ease. You don't have to have a case to discuss, but can just come to gain some knowledge from seasoned colleagues. The Ethics Roundtable will help you feel better and more confident in your clinical work. No CEs, but the 90 minutes will be well spent. 

• Where: Zoom Meeting
• When: Fri., Oct. 21, 2022
• Time: 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm
• You will be sent a Zoom link in your confirmation e-mail.
