Virtual Training: How to be a DEI Changemaker as a Direct Service Professional

Events, News

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion continue to remain a priority for human services organizations throughout the country, and the more it is mentioned, the more people demand for action and results. However, many organizations have made commitments and even added a strategic plan goal, but have failed to execute on plans and progress. This workshop will empower direct service professionals to take change into their own hands and identify ways to create DEI change in their own organization.

The learning outcomes for this workshop are:

  • Understanding the Foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Learn How to Reflect on your Privilege and Bias
  • Discover Ways to Advocate for Change at Your Organization

Participants in this workshop will receive a workbook to go along with the training and bring back to their organizations for their planning purposes.
