In 2021, the NASW updated its Code of Ethics principle "Cultural Awareness and Social Diversity'' to "Cultural Competence," stating that it was more operational and aligned with other allied professionals. Although, this change in language was supposed to signal a more significant commitment to inclusion, more progressive social workers believe that "anti-racist" would be a more decisive word choice to address the current social ills and the systematic and individual disenfranchisement of people of color. Or those who do not identify as Christain heterosexual white males. This workshop will explore how a trauma-informed approach can cultivate an anti-racist perspective and build greater organizational and personal resilience. Participants will examine how to develop self-awareness as the first step toward building a greater appreciation for multifaceted identities and creating inclusive workplaces. Lastly, participants will discuss whether "cultural competency" is sufficient to facilitate social justice.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the five steps in racial healing
- Describe the aptitudes that support resiliency and a person's ability to bounce back from adversity
- Summarize how being anti-racist supports being trauma-informed
- Provide three examples of individuals behaviors that promote an inclusive workplace
- Provide three examples of organizational behaviors that promote an inclusive workplace
