$45.00

NACC Member Webinar

Practitioners working closely with the young people and families that are trapped in the delinquency and family regulation systems work within systems that were created to oppress communities of color. In order to achieve true client-centered advocacy and client empowerment, we must better understand the history of these racist systems, how we have participated in these systems at the detriment of those we have committed to serve and those we serve with, how to deconstruct these belief systems, and how to replace them with affirming advocacy. This webinar will also discuss the path the presenters’ agency is taking to achieve an antiracist workplace and some of the hurdles they’ve encountered. 

Note: This is a highly interactive session. Participants will engage in several activities focused on identifying and directly addressing racially-based harms
