“The training was expertly facilitated, grounding participants in anti-racism social work tenets while offering strategies to identify and disrupt bias at both individual and structural levels. Sarah and Monica created an engaging, thoughtful space that balanced self-reflection, group discussion, and practical application. Participants appreciated their deep knowledge, relatable facilitation style, and ability to make complex concepts accessible. Many noted that this was among the most meaningful trainings they had attended, with standout components including the case vignettes, structured tools, and guided group reflections. The training inspired providers to be more intentional in naming and addressing bias in supervision, to adopt a structural lens in client assessment, and to cultivate practices of pause and self-inquiry. Participants left feeling more empowered and equipped to bring anti-oppressive approaches into their day-to-day work. The facilitators’ thoughtful handling of power, identity, and systems of oppression created a rare and healing space for learning.” (April, 2025)
