Join us for a series of conversations to understand the role of perception when it comes to equity and impact in delivery of mental health & behavioral health care. We will learn to see ourselves and each other through the lenses of privilege, intersectionality, and systemic power & oppression. We will discuss health disparities, bias, communication and conflict resolution. Through this experience, you will learn more about how you can approach cultural humility, accountability and inclusion in your work and personal spaces. We can help others and contribute to our jobs effectively only by addressing equity through self-examination and a commitment to this ongoing work.
