Presenter: Susan Gregory
Description:
Among the many DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) particularities, social class is rarely mentioned, yet it is an essential aspect of who we are in every interaction, including as therapists, and who each client is when they come to therapy seeking relief from their suffering. Class is always in the field yet rarely referred to. In this didactic and experiential workshop, we will bring the experiences of class to the foreground together.
