Seeing the System: Identifying Gaps and Barriers in Structural Health Determinants
An In-Person Workshop for Service Providers
Join us for an empowering and transformative in-person workshop designed for service providers committed to strengthening their cultural competency and anti-racist practice. This session moves beyond theory and focuses on real-world application, helping participants turn intention into meaningful, actionable change.
Through interactive discussion, case studies, and practical tools, participants will deepen their understanding of anti-Black racism, examine how structural health determinants and systemic barriers impact Black communities, and build confidence in supporting clients through an anti-oppressive and culturally safe lens. This workshop also offers a valuable opportunity to network with fellow professionals and build community across sectors.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your clinical practice, enhance your approach to client care, or strengthen your organizational impact, this workshop is for you.
