Rosa Revuelta

Training Description

Traditional case management strategies don’t always work with youth and families of color. Many of the systems they find themselves having to engage with create invisible barriers for their success. As case managers and service providers our ultimate goal is to support clients. This training focuses on strategies that promote change, empowerment and liberation. We will explore how empowerment-based theories recognize and assist communities of color as they engage in services. We will also begin to identify the barriers and dynamics that allow oppression to continue.  

Learning Objectives

• Participants will be able to identify three (3) barriers that Communities of Color face when engage in services  

• Participants will be able to apply strength-based approaches when providing case management
