professions.
Summary: With introduction/understanding of DEIPAR (diversity, equity, inclusion, intersectionality, power analysis, anti-racist) and Critical Race Studies frameworks. This keynote and follow up workshop, will examine social justice, empowerment pratice, anti-oppressive, and anti-racist considerations in clinical program supervision, field education supervision, and leadership. This includes challenging oppressive workplace structures and building decolonized work climates and cultures. Additionally, this lecture and workshop will harness empowerment practice concepts, contemporary use of self, and radial self reflection to expand opportunity to embed true liberation movement into social work leadership practice. This keynote is designed to be interactive, and grow and strengthen the professional’s leadership identity in relation to decolonized clinical supervision and agency leadership. Lecture and discussions will address a range of internal program dynamics addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in clinical supervision, managing conflict from an anti-oppressive lens, power analysis, decolonized social work education and its application to clinical practice, and leveraging anti-racist clinical supervision as means to both clinician and client empowerment. This keynote and subsequent material is designed as both dynamic understanding and clinical skill build.

Our annual conference will be hosted on Whova, an award-winning virtual event
platform. Described as “the Oscars of event technology” Whova is used by innovators like HBO,
Microsoft, Stanford University and TedX to foster meaningful connections with event

the conference begins.
Funds raised during this conference enable us to offer continuing education and legislative directives for our community. Without them, we would not have the voice that we’ve had in past years in Washington DC to advocate for mental health care, nor would we be able to train social workers and other mental health professionals on the newest information regarding evidence-based practices and understanding our clients. We welcome and appreciate all donations to the SCSCSW!
