“Speaking About Race IV: Working with Internalized Racism” with Fakhry Davids

October 7, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

We are pleased to present another co-sponsored event examining the intersection of race and psychotherapy. In part four of the Speaking About Race series, we invite you to examine your own relationship between individual racism, institutional racism and classism. Davids has written and presented extensively on the inner processes at work in our minds when these internal and external worlds collide. Through lecture and small group discussion we will explore our own unconscious biases at play and learn how to better address them in the consulting room.

10% of proceeds from this event will be donated to Therapy Fund Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to eliminating barriers to Black healing serving Washington and California.
