About the Webinar:

The World is diverse; this country is diverse; and we all serve a diverse population of clients. In this webinar, we will explore the history of the field of Psychology and examine its role in racism in America and harm against marginalized communities. Mental health professionals and organizations will gain tools to help move towards practices that affirm DEIJ values. Much of the research, especially in the foundational years of the American Psychological Association, has been skewed to uphold Euro-centric male supremacy. Psychological data has been used to influence policies that have overwhelmingly had negative impacts on marginalized communities. Attendees will learn ways to decolonize therapeutic practices and organizations to better serve diverse populations and advocate for policies that support healing and move away from the sickness model of pathology.
