  History Lost, Stolen or Strayed: The Footsteps of NASW

  Mildred “Mit” Joyner, DPS, MSW, LCSW

  NASW President

  Today as our nation faces two pandemics and NASW re-affirms its commitment to anti-racism, the social work profession must examine its steps toward justice. What action is our professional association prepared to take to build a “Beloved Community”? The social work community will continue to bend the arc of justice towards equity for all, no matter how arduous the journey.

  About this Event

  Develop an Antiracist Lens for your Clinical Practice - Part II

  Presenter: Keita Annie Whitten Foster BSW, MSW LCSW, SEP

  Founder: Ready, Set THrive!, The Harriet Tubman Movement Coalition of Maine, and Community Dialogues on Racism as a Public Health Crisis in the Midst of COVID-19

  2 Clinical Contact Hours approved by NASW Maine

  “Understanding racism and white supremacy are endemic to the development of all authentic relations between humans, including humans and nature. My life work has become about cultivating capacity, spirit, compassion, resiliency, grace, perseverance, and healing. Our stories are unique, yet we are not alone. There is no hierarchy of pain or suffering. The challenge is recognizing how these experiences continue to shape our current understandings and relationships about ourselves and each other so we can co-create authentic social engagement for all our relations.
