Video: 3 Things for Serving BIPoC Folx

This event was one of my favorites! So many thanks to Silvana Espinoza Lau for sharing her expertise and wisdom.

Some great takeaways:

• How to properly do a Location of Self. If someone with more privileged identities is not aware of their LOS, they are not aware of the gap between them and a BIPoC person. What are my identities, both the privileged ones and the subjugated ones?

• How to determine whether or not to treat a BIPoC client (and the importance of affinity).

• The importance of knowing the vernacular of our clients and the language they use for their experiences (latinx/e/o/a, hispanic, South American, Central American, national identity, mixed identity, etc.).

• The importance of tapping into a client’s own healing practices.

And so many others. From this training we raised $250 for Causa, an immigration advocacy group in Oregon.

Watch the full video here! And be sure to sign up for our next fundraising workshop with Annie Schuessler, the Rebel Therapist. Annie will be sharing 3 things she wishes every private practice was doing. And: Annie is a genius. So you’ll want to hear what she says.
