Antiracism Resources

Let's Empower Each Other to Dismantle Systems of Racism and Oppression. The systemic oppression and silence faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Americans for centuries is no longer acceptable. We are advocating for systemic change and proactively contributing to the healing process from this collective trauma. As trauma therapists, we are engaged in raising awareness and advocating for those who need it most. The tragic deaths of Black Americans like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery have opened greater public awareness of the need for change. Explore our antiracism resources to empower yourself and take action towards dismantling systems of racism and oppression.
