Racism and oppression still exist in 21st century America. Not only do these social ills still exist, but they are allowed to flourish at the expense of disadvantaged populations whose only desire is to be given an equal opportunity to thrive. How do these unjust systems continue to prevail despite all the good work that has been done to dismantle them? The answer is simple; White gatekeepers. In this 3-hour soul-searching, empathic, and research-based workshop, participants will be equipped with knowledge and information to answer questions such as: Who oversees access to mental health and medical healthcare? Who controls wealth and prosperity building resources? Who decides who gets hired in the workplace? Who determines what is acceptable and not acceptable appearance or behavior in America? Who governs politics and reinforces laws? Who built the infrastructure that America is sustained on? How is racism and oppression sustained in 21st Century America? Also, participants will learn about system theory and strategies that can be used to dismantle racist and oppressive systems.

1 - 4:15pm ET
Presented by Charlie Safford
Description: This course is designed to provide a detailed overview of suicidality and implications for intervention on the part of every mental health clinician. This includes understanding and being prepared to identify the presence of suicidality and the level of risk, and to be able to provide a comprehensive assessment for the risk of suicide when a client comes into treatment. If we assume that the most important factor in clinical work is to protect our clients from life threatening harm, then knowledge of how to conduct a thorough suicide assessment can be considered one of the most vital components of a clinician's core knowledge base and skill set
