This is a 2-day webinar.  Day 1: Thursday, July 21, 10am-1pm.  Day 2: Thursday, July 28, 10am-1pm.  Participants must attend both days to receive a certificate for continuing education credits.

This training offers a practical, applied framework for understanding how power, oppression, and micro level harm shape clinical work, organizational culture, and prevention outcomes. While many practitioners have foundational knowledge of trauma informed care, cultural competence, and ethics, there is a gap in applied guidance for responding to harm as it occurs in real time within sessions, teams, and institutions. This webinar integrates clinical, organizational, and prevention lenses to help participants move from awareness to action.

Day 1:  Understanding Power and Harm in Practice

This webinar introduces a practical framework for understanding how power, oppression, and micro-level harm shape clinical work, organizational culture, and prevention efforts. Participants will explore how these dynamics show up in real time across sessions, supervision, and systems, including the impact of microaggressions, invalidation, and power imbalances on client engagement and workplace functioning. The training positions anti-oppressive practice as central to ethical and trauma-informed care and expands prevention beyond crisis response.

Day 2: Intervention, Accountability, and Repair 

Building on Part 1, this webinar focuses on practical strategies for intervening in and repairing harm across clinical and organizational contexts. Participants will develop skills to navigate difficult conversations, interrupt harm in real time, and engage in accountability and repair processes that support both relationships and safety. The training emphasizes translating values into action and positions anti-oppressive practice as a core strategy for long-term prevention and organizational change.
