And Then I Froze: 
Processing Cultural Enactments Using Mindful Facilitation

APRIL 1st and 2nd

May 6th and 7th!

PRESENTED BY: 
DONNA J. HARRIS, MA, LCSW, CGP

This conference is designed to bridge the gap between cultural awareness and cross-cultural dialogue.

While clinicians are aware that they need to address issues of difference and microaggressions in their practice, all too often these enactments create unresolved ruptures because we freeze when faced with unintended or even, deliberate slights.

This conference will present didactic and experiential material grounded in principles of cultural humility, trauma-informed practice, and Mindful Facilitation to help participants gain an understanding of barriers in engaging others in difficult conversations about race and racism. Participants will also learn to effectively lead challenging discussions about Social Location and members' experiences with oppression.
