    Our GWSCSW Anti-Racism Taskforce (ART) is inviting the Board to a "Brave Space Conversation" about racism and anti-racism.

    ART hosted a similar educational and experiential program in February of 2021 for members. This unique workshop was developed and led by members of the ART, offered via Zoom, and was very well received with attendees wanting to come back for more of these conversations.​

    The “Brave Space Conversation” is an offering in line with the mission of ART and aims to bring our society into alignment with our commitment to becoming anti-racist clinicians and to building an anti-racist society. The Executive Committee wanted the entire Board to have a chance to experience this Zoom workshop before it is offered again by ART to the broader membership.
