How to Develop an Antiracist Lens for your Clinical Practice: This workshop will focus on introducing participants to an anti-racist practice model that will assist social workers in developing the ability to both expand capacity to understand the dynamics of transference and counter transference with regard to racialized tension. As social workers, we must be able to “metabolize” our own responses to race and also to allow for our clients the same space. This workshop will help you identify and manage racialized emotional fragility and what to do about it. You will learn techniques to help you and your client co create an environment of capacity to support authentic regulation for the emotional body.

NASW-CO Southeast CO/CO Springs Monthly Regional Gatherings (Virtual)

"In today’s times networking seems to become more and more important, partially due to social distancing but also to unite and speak up for social justice. In order to get started and get to know each other, I’d love to restart monthly meetings in our region. Our first meeting would be Friday, October 9th from 12-2pm by Zoom (email me for link) and would continue every first Friday at the same time, until we decide that another day is better. Please feel free to email me sylvialcsw@gmail.com to RSVP (optional but I’d love to know how many are coming) and give me some ideas of your favorite time to meet, and also some topics you would like to discuss or hear about."
