Working Against Racial Injustice: Bringing the Message to Community Mental Health Providers

This narrative offers the experiences and reflections of two colleagues and friends in their efforts to work for racial justice including the use of Community Circles. This pair acts as a bi-racial training dyad to address implicit racial bias, racial microaggressions, and cross-racial dialogue in community mental health settings. Challenges in acting as a white ally are presented, as well as the toll being a facilitator takes on people of color.
