Decolonizing Social Work
June 15, 2022 @ 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET
Presented by: Giselle Dias, MSW, RSW, Program Director, Centre for Indigegogy, Faculty of Social Work, Wilfrid Laurier University
This webinar will explore how colonization continues to structure social work practice. It is a step in understanding why decolonizing must be part of social work practitioners’ and educators’ response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's (TRC) calls for action and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada. It will also offer an opportunity for participants to get an overview of what it means to engage in their own decolonizing journey.
This Webinar is FREE for Ontario Registered Social Workers (RSW), Registered Social Service Workers (RSSW) and Students of Social Work and Social Service Work Programs. Please note: If you are not an RSW, RSSW or student of these programs in Ontario, you may still attend but will be charged a fee of $40.
