President/Clinical Director Integrity Clinical Consulting & Training Homewood, Illinois, United States
Since 2016, we have seen a dramatic increase in violence, harassment and intimidation in the US and across the globe against individuals such as Asians, Muslims, Jews, Black people and other people of color (POCs), LGBTQ community and immigrants. We should ensure that CISM support meets their specific community needs; and ensure that professionals from the groups are represented in CISM teams. We can and should strengthen our own understanding of how historical oppression, discrimination and current "isms" add additional layers of trauma to impacted individuals; and then learn how we can improve our service delivery by using cultural humility. Join me in learning how having diverse teams make for the best teams with better outcomes!
