Understanding White Supremacy Culture & Characteristics to Support Improved Outcomes for System Involved Youth

Mack Boyle

Training Description

This training will explore the foundational concept of white supremacy culture & its roots in colonization. Participants will examine the ways that white supremacy culture overtly & covertly teaches us that whiteness holds value & explore ways to interrupt it within efforts to support youth, young adults, & families who are system-involved or at high risk of system-involvement. By using the work of Tema Okun, participants will learn about each characteristic of white supremacy culture & identify the role that these characteristics play in their efforts to support youth who are system-involved or at high risk of system-involvement.
