Trainings
Can you imagine your social work practice as a tool of
liberation?
Justice Centered Social Work: Although mainstream social work often
speaks the language of social justice, our aim often falls short of our
values when we begin to look critically at our participation in systems that
systemically perpetuate oppression. For those of us committed to justice and
equality, and who practice social work because of a specific commitment to
justice, it is important for us to ask ourselves how we want the profession
to continue to develop and grow–and how our practice can support this
intention. It is also important that we do this work in community and with
support.
