NASW-NYC's BOLD Committee presents:

B.O.L.D. Continuing Education is a dynamic means to engage social workers around systemic racism in our field and the impact that it has on the clients that we serve. This opportunity for continuing education empowers practitioners to exercise their clinical skills in mental health service delivery, while having difficult conversations about addressing hunger in New York City. In the process we will explore the intersectionality of race, culture, gender expression, justice, community economics, immigration status, spirituality, and more. In this specially curated webinar, we will provide actionable steps for professionals and students to engage in social work practice while acknowledging the underpinnings of institutionalized racism and trauma that impact food accessibility in client communities. Moreover, we will engage in strategies to implement solutions to addressing hunger regarding client mental health and for clinicians and students in the parallel process.

In this 2-hour virtual workshop participants will engage in a blend of PowerPoint lecture, reflective exercises and small group discussion. Participants will have the opportunity to develop a safe space through community contracting. We will examine the overlapping mechanisms of systemic racialized oppression that impact the prevalence of hunger in NYC communities. Participants will gain insight into exploring hunger in NYC, theories of change to end hunger and the role that social workers have in reducing hunger in NYC.

Participants will complete the program equipped with tools for navigating difficult conversations around addressing hunger with clients and in communities and tools for their own self-care on the journey. Attendees will learn to apply theories of change to end hunger in NYC. Moreover, participants will be equipped with strategies for community organizing and political advocacy in reducing hunger in New York City particularly in communities of color and marginalized communities.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Express their continuum of identities through self-reflective, interactive activities and engage in exercises dedicated to the importance of practicing self-care, self-reflection and fostering a mental health support network for clinicians and students especially those practicing in BIPOC and marginalized communities amidst the parallel process of addressing hunger with clients and within communities.
• Identify at least one (1) strategy to engage clients in 1:1 therapy regarding addressing hunger.
• Identify at least one (1) means to address reducing hunger in NYC, especially in communities of color and marginalized communities.
• Identify at least one (1) strategy to engage in collaborative practice with colleagues and agencies in addressing hunger with clients in BIPOC and marginalized communities.
• Identify at least (1) strategy to exercise community organizing and political advocacy in social work practice around ending hunger in communities of color and marginalized communities.
