Empowering Black Futures: Safer Spaces for Black Youth

Advancing anti-oppressive practice and responding to the needs of Black youth require awareness and actions to enhance individual knowledge and reflectivity, as well as systemic explorations of organizational gaps and commitments to anti-Black racism. This session will provide interactive exercises and case studies that address gaps in building ‘safer spaces’ for Black youth in Canada. Through this module, participants will enhance their knowledge and application of Africentric care in individual, community and structural social work practice.
