I need a minute: A Time for Collective Mourning monthly seriesPresented by: Dr. Ebony White and Dr. Shon Smith - Second Friday's at 1PM EST
REGISTER Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd… Unfortunately, these are the most recent African American victims that have lost their lives by the hands of law enforcement or vigilantes for being Black in America. The global observation of this loss of life from a historical, racial, oppressive, policing system has and continues to have a significant impact on the mental health and physical health of all Americans witnessing these actions and responses. We invite all members of the counseling community to join us as we understand the need and purpose of a space for community and collective mourning as we continue the work of pursuing social justice.

CSJ statement for 2020 Presidential electionWe celebrate the hope, joy, and relief that many individuals may be experiencing, yet recognize the grief, despair, and fear that may still exist for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and various marginalized communities. We acknowledge the significance of electing our first female, Black and South Asian Vice President of the United States of America, yet understand that representation is meaningless without holding our politicians accountable for their actions. We recognize the tireless efforts of Black and Brown leaders, such as Stacey Abrams, Indigenous Peoples, and the multiple community organizers and activists that have mobilized for years to increase voter turnout and remove barriers to access in regions that typically face numerous systemic hurdles.
We vow to continue to focus on anti-oppression and anti-racism as part of our work here at CSJ. We invite members to join together for our upcoming advocacy events and take action:
