Strengthening Families Using a Racial Equity Lens

Speaker: 

Jessica A Pryce, Ph.D.

Description:

This presentation focuses on how leaders from child and family serving organizations can work to understand and mitigate the problems of racism, marginalization, and injustice in our systems of care. Dr. Pryce makes a compelling argument that for leaders to change systems, they must practice looking inward. She implores child welfare leaders, community partners, parents, foster parents, and educators to identify their own personal philosophies, mindsets and values and how shifting those towards anti-racism will lead to true systemic change. She includes a discussion on evolutionary versus revolutionary efforts and offers strategies that lead to profound revolutionary change.

Objectives:

• Define evolutionary change and revolutionary change.
• Identify strategies for your organization to engage in revolutionary work.
• Understand different types of prevention strategies within child welfare.
• Identify ineffective mindsets within their organizations.
