Culture Ally’s Antiracism Clinical Consultation Group provides a safe and empowered space for the intentional development of clinicians committed to engaging in antiracist clinical practices. This group has a dual focus: (1) personal self-exploration and development regarding issues related to race and racism and (2) professional development of culturally responsive counseling skills to effectively and ethically address race and racism in one’s clinical practice. During this 2 hour session, there will be the opportunity for 3 case presentations that highlight issues related to race, racism, or pressing cultural politics. Clinicians will utilize a structured format for their case presentations. The Culture Ally facilitator will provide the structure for the group, model antiracist collaboration, and help the group enhance their skills and capacity for antiracist clinical practice. This group is open to clinicians of all races and ethnicities. This space is intended to be gracious, not condemning. It entails uncomfortable learning, with the ultimate goal of supportive and constructive interactions.
