Good Clinical Practice Is Anti-Racist (GCAR)
Fabiola Desmont, DSW, LMSW & Chera M Finnis, PsyD, CGP, Fellow of AGPA
This will be a process-oriented experiential workshop that is open to all clinicians interested in exploring and developing strategies to help integrate solid clinical practices that are inherently anti-racist. By increasing practitioners’ abilities to tolerate discomfort, ambiguity, and the complexities of intersectionality in the clinical process group, the group leader will be better equipped to raise the consciousness of its membership. The goal would then be for the leader to help the group examine relevant issues that impact the clinical processes, e.g., social justice, racism, oppression, power, privilege, white supremacy culture, etc. This workshop will be co-facilitated by two senior clinicians from Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society’s one-year Group Psychotherapy Training Program. The leaders believe that the positive practices of an ethical and conscious application of clinical skills are inherently anti-racist. The more seamless this integration process, the more positive impact there is in the group process. Good clinical practice is anti-racist.
