NTTAC Event: Dismantling Racism in the Peer Workforce and Creating Safe Spaces for BIPOC Peers
November 29, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am MST
DESCRIPTION
For decades, peer support has been part of the mental health system. That system—like others across the nation—was built on racism, and racism continues to impact peer support. Learn how to begin addressing structural racism within the peer support workforce. Join two experts who will share their personal stories of navigating the peer movement through a Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) lens and examine how to create different avenues for peers who identify as BIPOC. You will hear what’s happening at the national level and in Washington State to create more spaces for BIPOC peers.
Facilitated by Change Matrix change consultant Evelyn Clark and Shaun Worthy, CEO/Owner of IAMWORTHY & Associates LLC.
