Summary:
A two-day conference for people of color and white allies in mental and behavioral healthcare, education, youth services, faith, government, activism, and the broader community.
At KCTI’s 12th annual fall conference we will once again convene as a community and address the needs of the Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) community.
This year we invite you to join us as we “Go deeper to grow stronger”. It is our plan to continue to lean in to perusing JOY and Liberation. We will do this by exploring how we empower racism through practices were we relinquish our power. In the process racism and racist practices take up all the air leaving little room for us to embrace other parts of our identity. As people we often struggle to explore, understand and embrace our strengths and or weaknesses because our walls of protection are built so high. This protective defense traps the natural flow of learning. It confines stuff on either side of the wall preventing a natural flow, which stops growth from occurring.
We have invited Dr. Manijeh Daneshpour, PhD, LMFT, Dr. Robin DiAngelo and others to share their experience and model how we can develop practices that allow us to see the walls that we have built to protect us. They will help us explore how to break free of these walls that now hold us captive. We must stand in our individual and collective power in an attempt to stop surviving and lean into THRIVING.
Over the last eleven years, with your help, we have cultivated a trusted and supportive space for marginalized voices to be centered and cared for. Well over 3,000 Indigenous, Black and other members of communities of culture along with allied white bodies of European decent have accepted our invitation to be both bold and vulnerable while engaging in honest conversations. As we continue on in our mission to support participants toward communal healing, we believe it is also necessary to continue to grow and expand our work and deepen our successes.
Objectives

Explore what going deeper looks like for each of us
Identify parts of your identity that desires to be liberated
Develop understanding of what your walls of protections are and how to break free
Evaluate how we relinquish our power to race and racist practices

Fall Conference Agenda

From Race to Culture in the Supervision of Therapeutic practice virtual training
2023-09-18 13:00 - 2023-10-16 13:00 (America/Chicago) | MN
From Race to Culture in the Supervision of Therapeutic Practice engages participants in
a process of cultural self-discovery in service to their ability to mentor and support their
future supervisees in a similar process. This virtual workshop will address contextual factors
of race, ethnicity, and culture and will consider dynamics of power and privilege that
impact the therapeutic and supervisory relationship. The workshop will be both didactic
and interactional in nature. We expect there will be lively and informative discussions.
This workshop is largely experiential with some didactic sharing of cultural concepts,
processes, and language. The emphasis is on “self-study” from a cultural lens. The
therapist and/or clinical supervisor is guided through the “cultural self-study” process in
preparation for their facilitation of similar processes with their supervisees.
