While social workers work to raise our collective voices of protest against blatant forms of racism in society, we may be less sensitive to “the subtle, cumulative mini-assault is the substance of today’s racism” present in our profession. Microaggressions are often illusive and nuanced, verbal and nonverbal acts that reflect the superiority, hostility, and discrimination

Social workers are well-positioned to provide high-quality, culturally responsive care rooted in an anti-oppression framework that attends to historic harms. In fact, it is an obligation of a profession that is rooted in social justice. Yet social workers still cause harm and are complicit to racism in micro, mezzo, and macro practice. This two-part class

Trauma-informed care is more than just the newest catchphrase: It’s a paradigmatic shift away from delineating the traumas themselves and aids the clinician in focusing on a person having traumatic responses.
