[close] Anti-Racism Reading Group for mental health professionals. Thank you so much for your interest in this group. I'm thrilled that others are willing to support each other as we do this important work. I want to start by saying I don't claim any ownership or leadership of this group, and I think we can make decisions together as a group. Having said that, my intention is that this group is explicitly anti-racist and explicitly intersectional feminist. These past few days (May 2020), many of us have probably been thinking something like "I know that I need to do something, but I don't know what to do." Black leaders have been pretty consistent in their advice to White people: White people need to learn. So I spread invitations to this group primarily to White people. Not to centre us, but because we are the ones who need to do this work. But we are not going to limit membership or participation based on race or any other identifying factor. I invited clinical psychologists (including students) and other mental health professionals in the hopes that our discussions can include themes related to our professional work. Please introduce yourself, vote in a poll, start or respond to topics in the forum, and add books to the group shelf! You may need to "verify your email" with Goodreads before it will let you post in the group.

[close] Books are the gateways that allow the individual to travel outside of their immediate walls, find a new community, travel outside of that community and temporarily become someone else with the entire weight of empathy and gravity of existence. Books are advisers and adversaries. Books are guides both internal and external. Books exist to paint you as both the victim and the perpetrator, the starring role and the supporting cast member, the hero and the villain simultaneously. Let us be good stewards of their true value and carry them forward into times of both uncertainty and times of peace.
