We have got to talk about how racism and white supremacy show up in social work practice. We see it in diagnoses, in therapist/client relationships, pay and reimbursement inequity, hiring, representation, supervision, licensure, and so much more. This will be the first of many town halls on social work practice by the NASW NYS chapter, and the last Revolutionize Social Work event in 2020.⁠ All social workers are invited to the NYS Chapter’s Town Hall on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 6pm EST.
