We Are Committed to This Work. Here’s Where We’re Starting.
Being aware of current events is not enough.
As mental health professionals, we have a responsibility to do more than acknowledge what is happening in the world. We have a responsibility to actively engage with the work of anti-racism, to make room for conversations about race, racism, and social justice in our practice, and to be a genuine force for positive change.
We are committed to that work. Not as a response to a single moment, but as an ongoing practice.
Here is where we are starting, and an invitation to join us.
What our staff is reading and learning
We asked our team to share what they are engaging with right now. Here is what they recommended:
- White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo
- Tending to Racial Trauma During Crisis, an online training focused on supporting clients and communities navigating racial trauma
How we are putting our resources to work
Holistic Consultation is committed to donating to local and national justice initiatives. If you have an organization you believe in and would like us to consider supporting, we want to hear from you. Reply to this post or reach out directly and let us know.
This work does not have an endpoint. We are in it for the long term, and we are glad to be doing it alongside this community.
