Picture
Presented by: Dr. Edil Torres Rivera
Thursday, September 24, 2020 at 7pm EST

​In recent years we have seen how global warming has produced sociological, political, and economic changes. There is evidence that these changes have also affected people psychologically. This presentation will introduce empirical evidence that these changes have also increased violent behavior and is a continuation of the structural violence that is experienced in many countries called developing countries. This presentation will provide the audience with effective interventions to help people affected by global warming and violent behavior.

SOCIAL JUSTICE IN SCHOOLS Webinar

Presented by: Dr. Colette Dollarhide
Monday, August 3, 2020 at 7pm EST

​Systemic racism and anti-Black structures exist in all institutions in our society, and schools are no exception.  In fact, underlying assumptions of epistemology are based on the Greco-Roman systems of knowledge, which inherently devalue African, Latino, Asian, and Indigenous ways of knowing. In this webinar, we will deconstruct these racist assumptions, and then discuss various ways school counselors can use ecological theory to build a social justice program that addresses intrapersonal, interpersonal, immediate system, and larger system views to promote a culturally affirming school for all students. Participants will commit to working toward culturally affirming structures and practices in their schools.

Counseling for Black Lives: Advocacy for Addressing Undue Police Violence Webinar 

Presented by Dr. Darius Green
Thursday, June 25, 2020 at 6pm EST

Black and African Americans disproportionately face excessive use of force from law enforcement officers that may result in race-based traumatic stress. Recent research on the topic of how professional counselors identify and address such occurrences of race-based trauma and police violence suggests that gaps exist in training.

​In a land where freedom bells ring there is a mass population of people who live in bondage beyond what we as people can think or imagine. Human trafficking also known as modern-day slavery is a 150 billion dollar industry that has
 been hidden in plain sight for decades in the United States of American. Stripping away one's human rights, and lessening them to be valued as cattle for profit, human trafficking has been hidden in the dark for too long the time to shine the light is now. This training will equip participants with the tools needed to understand what human trafficking is, who it affects, and how we as people can take action to fight against human trafficking.

Counselors Promoting Social Justice in the COVID-19 Era

​Presented by Dr. Patricia Arredondo
Monday, April 27 at 7PM EST


In the COVID-19 era, a social justice mindset is attuned to inequities, oppression, and lack of access to healthcare, governmental, and employment systems. A disproportionate number of persons living in poverty, in rural areas, of ethnic minority heritage and in low-paid occupations are more at-risk to this disease and to accessing care. Knowledge about these conditions and populations is essential so that social justice advocacy can be enacted. 
​
Learning Objectives: To describe how definitions of social justice apply in the current pandemic. To articulate particular inequities based on poverty, race/ethnicity, occupations. To identify everyday opportunities to apply social justice practices at interpersonal, organizational and societal levels
