This was an amazing way for me to get involved in Oregon’s mental health regulatory board and the mental health community. I was very involved and helped uplift my peers and network through writing, serving, and education.
The Anti-Racist Practitioners Guide is a transformative resource designed to address systemic inequities and cultural biases within the behavioral health field, particularly as they affect BIPOC practitioners and clients. Based on insights from 145 BIPOC professionals in Oregon, the guide uncovers the pervasive impact of racism on professional growth, mental well-being, and quality of care.
It provides actionable strategies for organizations to implement anti-racist policies, foster inclusive leadership, and create accountability mechanisms that drive meaningful change. By engaging with the ARPG workshop, organizations can cultivate a more equitable workplace, improve team dynamics, and enhance the overall quality of care. Take a vital step toward a more inclusive and just professional environment by adopting the ARPG framework.
