About this event

This will be a safe space to learn and practice skills while the stakes are low, so that when the stakes are high, you are confident and prepared to either address or disengage from the situation in ways that ensure the psychological, physical, and professional safety of yourself and others.

In this part 2 series, LaToya Holmes-Ware (DCYF) will facilitate and teach constructive and human responses to racism with the goal of gaining and educating allies.

Once you register, you will receive a confirmation. Please save the Zoom link to your Outlook calendar.
