Virtual Zoom Event
No CEs will be offered
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
As part of our diversity and outreach work, ICP+P is pleased to offer a series of four round tables, the first of which will be held virtually on September 18th. We hope that these topical events will promote discussion and engagement about racism and other forms of exclusion in the mental health field. The intent of a round table is to generate exploration and intimate discussion of a particular topic, in an egalitarian forum. As we prepare for the next phase of our consultative work with Vision 4 Equity, we think that the round tables will create an avenue for on-going discussion and learning that will enrich our organization.
This talk will discuss how “beginning with Fanon” can be an entry point to disrupting settler colonial violence in the clinic, coercive ideological practices of our field, and, most importantly, will discuss how we might move collectively toward anti-oppressive praxis.
This roundtable is appropriate for clinicians at all levels of experience. No CEs will be offered. Space is limited.
PLEASE NOTE: Recording in any form of this live streaming event is NOT permitted.
