Please join us for a self-care session for Black Social Workers, led by Marcia Leftwich, an advocate for holistic living and de-stigmatization of mental health in communities of color. This opportunity is a free event crafted by NASW-CA’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee for social workers who identify as African Diaspora/communities, of African descent or Black/African American only.
NASW-CA is offering two options for this session. The sessions will have an interactive discussion on self-care as a preventive strategy versus a reactive action. Due to historical and recent events of structural racism, oppression, discrimination against the black community, Marcia will assist our Black Social Workers with creating a self-care plan for empowerment. As a Social Worker, we often support others, ensuring that they receive the care that they need and the NASW-CA D&I Committee is providing a space for Black Social Workers to receive the care and support they need with yoga and meditation.
The classes will take place on February 13th and 27th at 10am to 11:30am PST.
