Social Justice Theory and Clinical Practice:
The Liberation Health Conceptual Framework

A live webinar presented by Dawn Belkin Martinez, Ph.D., LICSW
Friday, November 12, 2021
9–10 a.m.
COVID-19 has unmasked our current political crisis and social workers and other behavioral health providers are on the frontlines. We witness, on a daily basis, the economic, racial, and cultural oppression our clients are experiencing. Yet social workers and other behavioral health professionals are often at a loss as to how to explore and discuss the effects of systemic racism and socio-political problems with the individuals and families they work with. This workshop will introduce attendees to the liberation health framework; a social justice focused method of clinical practice which integrates analysis of cultural, social, and political forces with traditional clinical methods.
No cost for attendance. Registration required.
Certificates of Attendance available.
